Frankl's account of surviving Auschwitz and his conclusion that meaning sustains us through suffering is one of the most universally recommended books across self-help, philosophy, and psychology. It appears on the reading lists compiled in Tim Ferriss's Tools of Titans and is referenced by authors spanning Viktor Frankl's own logotherapy tradition to Buddhist teachers like Pema Chodroen and Eckhart Tolle, who find parallels between Frankl's insights and contemplative practice.

Stephen Covey built his first habit - being proactive - directly on Frankl's idea that between stimulus and response there is a space where we choose. Readers describe it as short, devastating, and life-changing, though some note the second half on logotherapy theory is drier and more academic than the memoir that precedes it.
