Publisher's summary

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.

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.

A bit dissappointed

I was hoping for something more of substance than what this book offered. After having read Man’s Search for Meaning, this book seemed like a final brag book of an old man. But I guess the title is Recollections so what should I have expected.
