RECREATION - book - man's search for meaning


A book to read and re-read. Vicktor Frankl helps to make it quite clear that attitude is everything. No matter what the circumstances, we have a choice on how we react. They may even have our bodies but they can't take our minds.

The experiences of camp life show that man does have a choice of action. We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
