"Man s Search for Meaning" has long riveted readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. This new young readers edition brings a beloved classic to a new generation of readers, offering a universal tribute to coping with suffering and finding one s purpose.

"Man s Search for Meaning: A Young Adult Edition" will help readers ages twelve to eighteen grasp Frankl s enduring lessons on perseverance and strength with clarity and depth."

This was hard to push through because it was like peeling back those layers of a time that is not only real but so hard to imagine having to go through. The physical and mental exhaustion it would of taken to power through such an experience makes both my head and heart hurt. I remember learning about this in school and all the horrific things people had to go through during that time. It was good to have the perspective of this person and read this as an adult not only to be reminded of what humanity is capable of, but also remember the survivors, what they went through and make sure their story lives on so something like this is not repeated. Highly recommend.
