Man's Search for Meaning

I must be weird, because having read a few personal accounts from concentration camp survivors I found Frankl's to be a bit dry and dark (it's darkness was more an issue with my own emotional state when starting it). I understand this was intentional as Frankl disconnected emotionally from his surroundings to get through daily life (as most people would and do in traumatic experiences), but the latter sections on Logotherapy really hooked me in.

I guess it speaks more to what I needed from this book, which was a broader context for a feeling of meaninglessness in my life, and Frankl's assertion that meaning can be found in small actions has helped me immensely. I'm only knocking a star off because the language and writing feel dated and clunky in a way that reminded me of reading the big book of AA at times. I get that Logotherapy was Frankl's baby, but it came off occasionally as a bit high on itself.
