Viktor Frankl is known to millions as the author of "Man's Search for Meaning", his harrowing Holocaust memoir. In this book, he goes more deeply into the ways of thinking that enabled him to survive imprisonment in a concentration camp and to find meaning in life in spite of all the odds. Here, he expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.' In "Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning", Frankl explores our sometimes unconscious desire for inspiration or revelation. He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine.

The three stars are for the first section of this book, which I loved. I was really drawn in by Frankl's descriptions of his experiences and thoughts during the Holocaust. It was interesting to hear his professional thoughts alongside his memories and it was quite a page turner. This was an interesting memoir as it was effective, giving an insight into the horrific happenings and the emotional impact that the Holocaust had, without being extremely personal - it almost had a sense of detachment. Unfortunately, I wasn't as interested in the second part of the book as it was completely based on psychology. I found it more interesting when Frankl blended this in and applied it directly to the experiences that he'd had in the concentration camps he'd been too - it was also easier for me to comprehend in this way. Worth a read if only for the first section
