Reading motivational books from Harvard and Stanford alumni isn't particularly inspiring? Did they start differently from the start? There is such a thing. Catch mega-motivators to immediately reconsider your attitude to life from those who have experienced the unthinkable, survived and understood the main thing.

Viktor Frankl ended up in one of the Czech concentration camps already in the status of an experienced psychotherapist. And he launched activities to support newly arriving prisoners and those who had been in the camp for a long time and were on the verge of suicide. His motto became the words of Nietzsche: "He who knows the 'why' to live, will overcome almost any 'how'." Frankl's parents and wife died in concentration camps. He survived and after his release in 1945, he created these books.
⠀
? "The Will to Meaning"
In it, Frankl explores the almost endless potential of the individual, reflects on the meaning of life, psychology, religion, health and pathology, freedom and responsibility. It is presented in an accessible language and is relevant for each of us who thinks about the value of being.
⠀
? "Say yes to life!"
The name speaks for itself: a book for those who have everything in order and for those who do not have it at all. Teaches the skills to know yourself and find meaning in any situation.
⠀
Edith Eger was 16 when she was sent with her parents and sister to the Polish Auschwitz in 1944. It was in this concentration camp that Doctor Death began his experiments on prisoners - Joseph Mengele, the killer of hundreds of adults and children.
⠀
What did Edith see, what did she endure there? It's hard to imagine. One of the episodes: a few hours after the death of her parents, Mengele made Edith dance. Before the war, she studied ballet, and he found out about it. She danced and understood that at that moment her fate was being decided - would she become a living biomaterial for his research? Then she was lucky. What happened next is unknown. In May 1945, Edith, barely alive, was found in a pile of corpses.
⠀
After 35 years, she studied to be a psychologist and devoted her life to helping people with mental and physical trauma. At the age of 90, she wrote her first book, which became a bestseller and won several literary awards.
⠀
? "Choice: about freedom and inner strength of a person"
Is there any need to prove why it is worth reading it? It is incredible, but the author smiles more radiantly in photographs than any of us. This cosmic woman absolutely knows everything about freedom and inner strength.
