  Man's search for meaning : An Introduction to Logotherapy 
  “One of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years.” —Dr. Carl Rogers, psychologist and founder of Rogerian therapy. 
  “Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is one of the great books of our time. Typically, if a book has one passage, one idea with the power to change a person’s life, that alone justifies reading it, rereading it, and finding room for it on one’s shelves. This book has several such passages.” —Harold S. Kushner, author and rabbi emeritus at Temple Israel. 
  Viktor Frankl's account of his battle for survival at Auschwitz and other concentration camps is included in Man's Search for Meaning, one of the great masterpieces to come out of the Holocaust. 
  Generations of readers have been captivated by this book because of its depictions of life in Nazi death camps and its spiritual survival teachings. 
  Frankl contends that although we cannot escape pain, we can decide how to manage it, find meaning in it, and go on with a new sense of purpose based on his personal experience and the testimonies of his patients. The belief that the pursuit of what we find significant, rather than pleasure, is the fundamental human motivation is at the core of his philosophy, which is known as logotherapy. 
  One of the most important books in the Universe today is Man's Search for Meaning, which never stops encouraging us to discover meaning in life itself.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle explores the concept of living in the present moment as the path to spiritual enlightenment. The book delves into how identification with the mind and its incessant thinking creates a false sense of self, the ego, leading to suffering and conflict. It introduces the idea of the "pain-body," an accumulation of past emotional pain that perpetuates negativity. Tolle guides readers on how to disidentify from their minds and pain-bodies to access a state of presence, a connection with their true selves, which is beyond form and thought. The book presents practical methods for entering the present moment, including observing one's thoughts and focusing on the inner body. The teachings emphasize the importance of stillness, silence, and acceptance as ways to transcend the ego and realize one's true nature, which is interconnected with all that is.

  When a state trooper appeared at Rachel Zimmerman’s door to report that her husband had jumped to his death off a nearby bridge, she fell to her knees, unable to fully absorb the news. How could the man she’d married, a devoted father and robotics professor at MIT, have committed such a violent act? How would she explain this to her young daughters? And could she have stopped him? 
   
  A longtime journalist, she probed obsessively, believing answers would help her survive. She interviewed doctors, suicide researchers, and a man who jumped off the same bridge and lived. 
   
  Us, After examines domestic devastation and resurgence, digging into the struggle between public and private selves, life’s shifting perspectives, the work of motherhood, and the secrets we keep. In this memoir, Zimmerman confronts the unimaginable and discovers the good in what remains. 
   
  “This poignant, soul-baring memoir is truly one of the most moving accounts of grief, loss and resilience that I’ve read.”—Tara Parker-Pope, The Washington Post
