This book is very well written. It is a compelling narrative. I love how he is so devoted to his wife; saying that his time with her outweighed everything that he had been through in the concentration camp. It is so sad that she was already dead the whole time. "Love is as strong as death." I like how he describes that the life in the concentration camp exposes both the good and the evil in man. In his explanation of Logotherapy, Frankl expounds that we all must answer for our own life and we all must take responsibility. I like the idea of personal responsibility for all things we do and experience. The meaning of our life can be understood by three principles; 1)creating a work or doing a deed, 2)experiencing or encountering someone, 3)the attitude we take about unavoidable suffering. I like how he explains that suffering is not essential to finding meaning in life but that sometimes it is unavoidable.
