Has anyone here ever read Viktor Frankl's 'Man's Search for Meaning'? One of the most famous holocaust survivors.
Great book. Abraham J. Twerski was asked in the Hamodia a few weeks ago if he recommends this book. I forgot his answer.
Well no one interviewed me but I definitely recommend it. It's tiny, more like a pamphlet. Wish I remember who I lent it to.One memorable line is where he told a Chassid who lost all his children in the camps "Life cannot be rendered meaningful merely by it's perpetuation".
That's what you tell someone who lost all his children. But IMHO, life can be rendered meaningful merely by it's perpetuation. There is a phenomenon known as people living through their children. It can be a problem, because they can be overprotective of their children, and micro-manage their lives. This problem exists by people whose only meaning in life is their children. But that doesn't mean that children can't render life meaningful. You're thoughts?
I only read Non-Fiction, here are a few of my recent reads:The Prime Ministers by Yehuda Avner (read it a few times)Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East by Michael OrenOut of the Depths by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau
Is The Prime Ministers an enjoyable read? Meaning, a page turner.
I hate that expression, you turn pages for every book. #justsayin
Hitlers book: mein kampf? Opinion?
Are You serious?Alot of what he wrote about his history in the book, is..... selective memmory.
Yes I'm serious didn't think there was a problem. What do u mean by selective memory?
Couldn't put it down
I found it to be an excellent read, almost hard to put the book down.
