Man's search for meaning

I highly recommend this book for anyone who questions life and wonders if it has any meaning or value. Frankl's reason for writing his life affirming book:

"I had wanted simply to convey to the reader by way of concrete example that life holds a potential meaning under any conditions, even the most miserable ones. And I thought that if the point were demonstrated in a situation as extreme as that in a concentration camp, my book might gain a hearing. I therefore felt responsible for writing down what I had gone through, for I thought it might be helpful to people who are prone to despair."

For me the book shows that Life is intrinsically valuable, while the “quality of life can often depend on others  the sanctity of life itself needs to be protected

Errata?

If my memory and web search are correct Frankl's first name is Viktor.

I read this book too long ago to rate it and don't consciously remember any of the content.
