I love to read and have always read lots of books. The last year and a half I have not read anything. Just can't get the concentration up. I recently started to try with a book my sister in law sent me.
"Mans Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankyl
I can only read a couple pages at a time. The first part is tough to get through. He is a survivor of a concentration camp in Germany in WW2. I am in no way comparing myself to the suffering they went through but I can relate. I know what it is like to totally lose the will to live. In a way I have felt like a prisoner trapped in a defective body for many many years. No way to escape. I am anxious to get through the first part and to the second called logo therapy. He was a psychiatrist himself before going into a camp so has an interesting perspective.
