Funny that the thing that affected me most from this book was Frankl quoting someone else, in this case Spinoza: "emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it."
Funny also that the second wisest bit of the book was another quote from another late great, Nietzsche: "He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how."
The point then, as I see it--and quoting these two others is in no way meant to denigrate Frankl's own intelligence and/or wisdom--is this: find a meaning for your life. Find the self-consciousness to realize your own emotions, the self-awareness to analyze your own feelings. With those mental weapons, you will never lose.
