Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Pinero. And in this episode, we're going to talk about the book Man Search for Meaning a few days ago.

One of the most powerful books I've read.

And there are a lot of topics. and I imagine I'll be diving into them

over the coming weeks here and there. But I think the central premise of the book, and one of the

most important themes, is around man's ability to control his attitude and his emotions.

So I'm going to read you a quote specifically.

He says, everything can be taken from a man but one thing.

The last of the human freedoms.

To choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose one's own way beautifully

beautifully put now this victor frankl went through absolute hell right the first half three

quarters of the book you know know, he's talking about

going through concentration camp during World War II. He was at Auschwitz. And basically

reduced to an animal. I mean, the way they treated these people, and he goes into a lot of it, a lot of it we

already know, we've read about, we've heard about, I mean, it's beyond imagination. But he's able to,

and this is the part that's truly mind-blowing, you know, find glimmers of light, of hope throughout the experience.

You know, there's one part that, that, man, again, blows my mind where he's talking about

after he gets out, right, after they're liberated, there's a magazine cover that shows some of

the people that were in camp, right, in their

bunks, starved. In the middle of the night, right, someone's walking in and the picture is of

all the people kind of peering out from their bunks and looking at the person walking in,

at least that's how I understood it. And he was saying how people commented, wow, you know, those poor things, look at what they're going through, look at the horror in their faces.

And as someone who lived through that, Victor was genuinely confused, right?
