  • Difficult for me to understand his points.

    I am a fan of Victor Frankel and have enjoyed his other books. This one, however, was not easily readable and did not have the kind of content that his early books have had.

  • Frankl Has Answers

    The book is in great condition and so is its dustcover. As to the text, Frankl, a Nazi holocaust survivor, has a message written for the 21st century. This book would be a great source of advice and hope for today's young people, who are often seen as depressed and without purpose.
