I'm Gretchen Rubin and this is a little happier.

When I'm interviewed people often ask me, what's your favorite book?

I can never answer this question because I love so many books.

I cannot pick just one.

I couldn't pick 100 books.

I love love love so many books of so many different kinds.

There's just no way to say.

However, sometimes people ask a different question.

They ask, if you could choose one book for everyone in the world to read or all high school

seniors or the president of the United States or whatever, what book would you choose for

that?

And to that question, I do have an answer.

I always say Victor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning.

This book is a towering classic of world literature and it's also a book that once you

start it, you cannot put it down.

It's an extraordinary memoir and reflection.

And it's from Victor Frankl, who from 1942 to 1945 was in four different Nazi death

camps, including Auschwitz.

I love this whole book so much.

I want to read my favorite passage.

I think of it so often.

This is what Frankl writes.
