Man's Search for Meaning
Discussed“Viktor Frankl in Man's Search for Meaning suggests that being human always seems to point to something or someone other than oneself, that the more one forgets himself actually by giving himself to a cause or to serve another person to love, the more human he is.”

How will you measure your life?
Recommended“In addition to Gardner's Road to Self-Renewal, we always ask our students to read Clay Christensen's, How Will You Measure Your Life? And I would highly recommend that to anybody who's interested in this fundamental question and to just going a bit deeper.”
