The book forced me to see that the world works in a very different way than I thought it did. James Carse's "Finite and Infinite Games" was given to me by my friend Brian Collins five or six years ago as a gift. And the best part is, with a new positive mindset, I was able to find all the evidence around me to reinforce that I was on the right path. I learned I can control how I feel regardless of what happens around me. With Frankl's book, I learned to reverse that. And with that unhealthy narrative in my head, I could easily find all the evidence around me to prove I was right. Before reading "Man's Search for Meaning," it was so easy for me to take on a victim's narrative whenever things in my life went badly. Whether a situation is good or bad simply depends on how we see it. We cannot control the world around us, but we can control our attitude. I have loved this book for so many years, and I think every human being should read it.Īmong the book's many lessons, Frankl reminds us the importance of mindset as we make our way through life. In "Man's Search for Meaning," Viktor Frankl chronicles his experiences as a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
