"Man's Search for Meaning" is a profound memoir, which details his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The book presents his theory of logotherapy, which is based on the idea that human primary drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what he calls "meaning." The author argues that even in the most inhumane and degrading circumstances, individuals can choose their response to any set of conditions, thus asserting a will to meaning. The narrative is not only a testament to the suffering of Holocaust survivors but also a guide to finding significance in all forms of existence, particularly in suffering and death.
