Recollections

An Autobiography

By: Viktor E. Frankl

Narrated by: S. D. Cousins

Born in 1905 in the center of the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire, Viktor Frankl was a witness to the great political, philosophical, and scientific upheavals of the 20th century. In these stirring recollections, Frankl describes how as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna, his disagreements with Freud and Adler led to the development of "the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy", known as logotherapy; recounts his harrowing trials in four concentration camps during the War; and reflects on the celebrity brought by the publication of Man's Search for Meaning in 1945.

A truly remarkable man

It was a pleasure to read his autobiography. He was a humble and kind gentleman in spite of his suffering and accomplishments

Dr. Frankl is never far from mind

Once again I am just so in awe of this man who had given so much, only to come out the other side wanting to help humanity. I have many struggles in life due to mental health and I thank him for his tireless work to improve the field of psychology.

Powerful recounting and reflection

An insightful inspirational and powerful story.

As an autobiography it gives further insight into frankls life and gives further meaning to his mans search for meaning book

Great book

Victor Frankl has a real talent for looking at things with neutrality through horrific circumstances he keeps his humanity.

The next step after Mam's Search for Meaning

This is the second title of Frankl's that I've read after Man's Search for Meaning. It sheds insight not only into the life of a man we only get a snapshot in "Man's Search," but a more in-depth understanding of how his life shaped logotherapy. A must read.
