I finally read "Man's search for meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl.
This short little book is incredibly powerful and definitely worth reading.
A quote:
"Man is not fully conditioned and determined but rather determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them. In other words, man is ultimately self-determining. Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment. (...) Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary."
This from a book that is mostly an autobiography of a concentration camp survivor who lost his entire family in death camps.
