Man's Search for Meaning - Victor E. Frankl (1984)

A personal experience of a person who has spent a substantial period in a Nazi concentration camp and survived it. The torture to which a person is exposed in such a camp it's obvious to ask these question why does a man feels like surviving that even. In fact, is it worth to tolerate such pains?

To answer this question the author finds answer in logotherapy. A search for meaning in a person's life.

Interesting read. Seems quite obvious yet very powerful as a concept.
