Praise for Man's Search For Meaning

Remarkable...It changed my life and became a part of all that I live and all that I teach.

Susan Jeffers, author of Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty

Viktor Frankl...one of the moral heroes of the 20th century. His insights into human freedom, dignity and the search for meaning are deeply humanizing, and have the power to transform lives. His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition.

Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks

An enduring work of survival literature.

New York Times

If you read but one book this year, Dr Frankl's book should be that one.

Los Angeles Times

a great book...if you need to be reminded that there is value to be discovered in experiences when they seem nothing but pointless and painful, and choices to be made when you think you have none, I'd recommend it

Lauren Laverne

Influential and eloquent.

Jewish Chronicle

Perhaps the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler.

The American Journal of Psychiatry

I have loved this book for so many years, and I think every human being should read it.

Simon Sinek

A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive

John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
