I've read 'Man's search for meaning' by Dr Viktor Frankl, who was a guy who tried to find meaning in his life whilst being in a concentration camp and I've just got his other book "The Doctor and the soul" and even after 2 pages of it I was really impressed, for example:
"We have seen that an appeal to continue life, can be made only when such survival appears to have a meaning. A meaning which can be realized by this person alone. For we must never forget that every man is unique in the universe"
I really like this as I think many self help books try to say "here is a solution that works for everyone", and it clearly doesn't. However, although these books are thought provoking and inspiring I don't think they in anyway helped me. So if anyone can recommend a really good book they've read which actually helped them I'd be interested to hear from you, please provide a quote or two!
