Product Description
Mans Search for Meaning is the chilling yet inspirational story of Viktor Frankls struggle to hold on to hope during his years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps where he endured unspeakable horror. Frankls training as a psychiatrist informed every waking moment of his ordeal and allowed him a remarkable perspective on the psychology of survival.
