A man who has reached the age of 40 is likely starting to contemplate his life and the meaning of it all. Which is why this is the perfect book for him to read. In it, psychiatrist Viktor Frankl not only tells of his time in the Nazis’ concentration camps, but he also tells of the spiritual lessons he learned from the experience. It takes a special being and a special perspective to see the good in all of that evil, and Frankl uses his unique approach as well as his work with his clients to demonstrate that suffering is inevitable but that what is in our power is how we choose to cope with it. It’s a humbling yet inspiring book that will give a whole new meaning to the meaning of life.
