"A truly inspiring and informative autobiography. I have always been fascinated by A Man's Search for Meaning and found that this book answers many of the questions I had about it."
"This book is a meandering account of Viktor Frankl's life. It has pictures and accounts of his parents and early childhood. It is not written in a particular chronological order, and events happening later in life pop up all over the place. It is more like a series of conversations that were written down word for word.
I was disappointed in the writing, the "all over the map" approach, and didn't really learn much. If you have 15 minutes, skim the book for the pictures and skim the stories. The section on psychotherapy jokes was entertaining. Not much else to read. Read "Man's Search for Meaning" instead."
"I first read Frankls famous work, Mans Search For Meaning, which made this slim autobiography really "pop' for me. The photos add another depth to the his remarkable life story. Some of his jokes were cringe-worthy, yes, but serves to humanize--his greatest attribute being that of a man who forgives people. Forgiveness is such a personal and profound action. That "living forgiveness" that Frankl possesed allowed him to climb mountains both literally and figuratively. I believe that is the core of his philosophy. For me--his gift."
"Published on his 90th birthday- this book definitely reveals the humorous side of Frankl. Who knew that someone who suffered such great losses in his life would turn out to be such a funny and inspiring guy?"
