Reader’s Note
10 out of 10
He who has a Why can bear any How. Nietzsche said that, and Frankl proves it. I read this in one sitting and I have not been the same person since; it is a small book carrying an entire cathedral inside it.

Man's Search for Meaning reviewed by @annotatedannie
Two books stapled together. The first is a witness statement and it's unanswerable. The second is a therapy manual from 1946 and I skimmed a good deal of it. Eleven yellow tabs in part one. None at all in part two.7 out of 10@annotatedannie
