When one examines the vast amount of material which has been amassed as the result of many prisoners' observations and experiences, three phases of the inmate's mental reactions to camp life become apparent: the period following his admission; the period when he is well entrenched in camp routine; and the period following his release and liberation.

Today's book is Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. Frankl is the father of logotherapy and a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Welcome to The Best Audiobooks, where we publish free audiobook excerpts from bestselling books, both fiction and nonfiction. The goal of each episode is to teach you something you didn't know, or to tell a story, and give you an accurate feel for that particular audiobook. Currently, audiobook samples are not easy to find, nor curated or helpful. And because Audible membership is expensive and purchasing individual audiobooks even more so, I decided to create this podcast. It's a hobby, a passion project of sorts :)

Featured authors include Malcolm Gladwell, Ernest Hemingway, Jared Diamond, Ralph Waldo Emerson, David Foster Wallace and many more. There will be at least two new books every week.

Visit TheBookPod.com to see my curated Amazon store featuring every audiobook on this podcast. You can preview and buy the audiobooks there.
