Man's Search for Meaning

Overall I enjoyed this book. The first half was more enjoyable and eye-opening than the latter half. That said, there were moments in the second half that contained quality wisdom. Unfortunately I didn't share the sentiments many others have had about the life-changing nature of this book, so I can't say it's something I will re-read or highly recommend to others. If someone is curious about this book, though, I would suggest reading it for yourself.

I gave this book a 3-star because I liked it, but I didn't “really” like it to warrant a 4-star.

Here's a couple quotes from Frankl I think contain some solid wisdom:
- “Live as if you were living for the second time and had acted as wrongly the first time as you are about to act now.” (p. 151).
- “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he should recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.” (p. 113).
- “Pleasure is, and must remain, a side-effect or by-product, and is destroyed and spoiled to which it is made a goal in itself.” (p. 125).
