One of the wisest and most beautiful books ever written, I think. Hugely influential.

Yeah, no. It's not my sort of book.
I don't like the style of writing, nor the words used and it's written fairly academic as well in my opinion, simply doesn't work for me.

Such an incredible book. I haven't read it in so many years. I need to pick it up again.

I devoured your review. The question that comes to my mind is, why hasn’t the term ‘logotherapy’ become mainstream yet? It sounds a bit similar to the Japanese word, ikigai, which means living according to one’s life purpose. I have heard of Viktor and his sufferings before, but “logotherapy” is something TIL

'Mainstream' is a high bar for a term of art, but in counselling psychology I'd say that most people know what it is. Also keep in mind that this is now, what, sixty years old? So pieces of this migrate elsewhere. In modern therapeutic traditions, meaning-making is a significant part of it.

My memory is fading as I get older, but this book sticks with me even though I actually read it 50 years ago in high school. Damn, I'm old. Great writeup, as usual. Thanks.

That was required reading also. I believe it was required for a younger student.
