Man's search for meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust / Frankl, Viktor E.; lasch, Ilse(Tr.) 2004  Book
Frankl, Viktor E. Book

Publication London, Rider, 2004.
Description 154pGrey spine
Summary/Abstract A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Undoing project: A friendship that changed the world / Lewis, Michael 2017  Book
Lewis, Michael Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Allen Lane, 2017.
Description 362pDark blue spine
Summary/Abstract There are geniuses who work on their own. Together, we are exceptional.' Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky met in war-torn 1960s Israel. Both were gifted young psychology professors: Kahneman a rootless son of holocaust survivors who saw the world as a problem to be solved; Tversky a voluble, instinctive blur of energy. In this breathtaking new book, Michael Lewis tells the story of how their unlikely friendship became one of the greatest partnerships in science - until, tragically, it started to unravel. Their ideas, shows Lewis, helped shape our world - revolutionizing everything from Big Data to medicine, money to sport - and changed humankind's view of its own mind.
