Man's Search For Meaning

I am currently reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, a well known psychiatrist who spent years in concentration camps.

Part 1 begins in a concentration camp during the holocaust. Frankl works through the attempts of the Nazis to "dehumanize man". It is a power read thus far, and I am quite interested to get to Part 2 where he discusses Logo Therapy. All I know is that Logo Therapy involves meaning and neuroses.

I think this book really put things into perspective for me because it shows how difficult times were, and how all the material things in the world did not matter once people were in these concentration camps. It also demonstrates how so many people survived on very little.

What are you currently reading. I would love to hear from you through comments.
