Book Club: Man's Search for Meaning

After all of your comments about my Twilight post, you might not be interested in this..BUT her goes nothing. I wanted to invite all of my friends to read along with my family book club. We are starting this month with the book: Man's Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl. You can buy the book from Barnes & Noble for $6.99 (or check it out from the Library of course). It is a pretty short book and we should be able to finish it by the end of the month with no problem. Here is a quick review of the book so you can get a feel for what it is about:

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz , while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory—known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")—holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey by the Library of Congress and the Book-of-the-Month Club that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America .
