One of the ten most influential books in America. —Library of
Congress/Book-of-the-Month Club "Survey of Lifetime Readers"
"An enduring work of survival literature." —The New York Times
"[Man's Search for Meaning] might well be prescribed for everyone
who would understand our time." —Journal of Individual
Psychology
"An inspiring document of an amazing man who was able to garner
some good from an experience so abysmally bad… Highly
recommended." —Library Journal
“This is a book I try to read every couple of years. It’s one of
the most inspirational books ever written. What is the meaning of
life? What do you have when you think you have nothing? Amazing and
heartbreaking stories. This is a book that should be in everyone’s
library.”
—Jimmy Fallon
“This is a book I reread a lot . . . it gives me hope . . . it
gives me a sense of strength.”
—Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360/CNN
"Viktor Frankl's timeless formula for survival. One of the classic
psychiatric texts of our time, Man's Search for Meaning is a
meditation on the irreducible gift of one's own counsel in the face
of great suffering, as well as a reminder of the responsibility
each of us owes in valuing the community of our humanity. There are
few wiser, kinder, or more comforting challenges than Frankl's."
—Patricia J. Williams, author of Seeing a Color-Blind Future: The
Paradox of Race
"Dr. Frankl's words have a profoundly honest ring, for they rest on
experiences too deep for deception… A gem of a dramatic
narrative, focused upon the deepest of human problems." —Gordon W.
Allport, from the Preface
"One of the great books of our time." —Harold S. Kushner, author of
When Bad Things Happen to Good People
"One of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in
the last fifty years." —Carl R. Rogers (1959)
