Historia
Man’s Search for Meaning is the chilling yet inspirational story of Viktor Frankl’s struggle to hold on to hope during the unspeakable horrors of his years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.

anachronism: life has individial meaning/purpose

i wish he were still alive. i wish we lived in a world that understood him. our society has become so narcissistic nihilistic, that i question if frankls thoughts have real purpose today...
it is a fine book. i read it in high school, after college, and now. as my life has changed, the meaning of the book has grown for me.
thank you.

Historia
American lawyer-turned-sociologist David Riesman published his first book, The Lonely Crowd, in 1950. Aimed at academics, it nonetheless gained a large popular audience. In it, Riesman explores the links between social character - the ways in which members of a society are similar to one another - and social structures. Riesman's work popularized sociology, helping to establish it as an academic discipline, and today it provides a fascinating window into the 1950s American psyche.

thie summary of the original book, some 400 pp or so, was excellent, i assume---not having read the original or its 2 revisions.
im not sure what a younger person might grasp. i was alive in 1950, grew up with the post war years, and found the premace interesting. the changing influences, the references that are familiar, etc.
the book is historical--a museum piece--like art, that reflects the origin of its time. for me, it was relevant, meaningful, insightful; even in trying to grasp the pathetic attempt at peer scceptance and meaning in the 21st century, with the grotesque presence of crt, antifa, blm, woke cancel culture, etc.
the book is a reminder of change, influences of the times, and yes---consumerism run amock.
peer groups, media, politics, religion or lack of it, the loss of tradition vs. the self, are prophetic to my mind, rather than old hat or antiquated.
once again, i didnt read the book. i dont know its flaws or strengths other than this review. i chose it because it was mentioned today, in a churchillian seminar---as typifying the changes that mustve been similar for winston, during his years as a liberal during his wholly conservative life: polarities... (1902-1911). i investigated the reference.
thank you...

no box outside of which to think ...
Revisado: 11-12-20
the book is short. its direct. it deals with donald trump, major influences in his life, and how he processes vs how he thinks.
its a positve/more objective presentation rather than 1 of hate.
the author, a businessman, reveals trumps world from the standpoint of trumps mind in business.
trump is brilliant, non conventional, focused, and where he wants to be. trump isnt average, to be pidgeonholed: people are left guessing--not because thats a goal, but because doing prioritizes explaining.
the author cites multiple examples of how trump processes, focuses, uses his own business/psychological models and personal experiences that he has mastered. he is brilliant, kind, inventive, honest in his world. he is remarkable.
it was a fun, ingenuous, interesting volume. whadda guy...
