He discusses the concept of logotherapy -- which is essentially "meaning"-therapy.

I thought it was a worthwhile read for those reasons. It's also fairly short as far as impactful books go.

Hopefully that will help you determine whether you want to read it or not.
I read for an hour but got distracted =[

I could say "I'll read an hour a day" - Maybe that could work.. just so many things... I'll write more about the exhaustion that I'm dealing with later in detail.
