While in the camp, he went through a very difficult time and saw a lot of violent killings. Once when he was still in the death camp, he realised that despite all the torment he had to suffer, he still had freedom inside himself. Little by little, that new feeling overwhelmed him, resulting in a dramatic change of his life philosophy. His new outlook on life was as follows: "I have internal freedom that you no one can change but me. I have the freedom of choice". Luckily, he was not killed in the camp and once freed, he wrote a book called "Man's Search for Meaning", in which he gave an explanation of that new outlook.
The most amazing thing is I haven't read this book yet but I really want to. The desire to read the book came while I was reading Stephen Covey's book called "The 7 habits of highly effective people". I don't know why but I think it's [Man's Search for Meaning] a very good read. Has anybody read this book?
