Man's Search For Meaning - book by Viktor E Frankl
This is a very good book, also a bestseller.
Let me quote:
Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life. Frankl saw 3 possible sources for meaning: In Work (doing something significant), In Love (caring for another person), and In Courage during difficult times. Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it.
What would a Christian say about his meaning in life?
