A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he & others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others & who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest
- & who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision & not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral & spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence
- while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning & purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering & find significance in the art of living.
