It made quite an impression on me. I went on to study Psychology in college (UMASS) No matter what our life circumstances or physical environment, we control our internal environment & our responses to stimuli. No-one & nothing can take from us our God-given free will, our freedom to choose our thoughts, feelings & attitude, which in turn determine our actions. That is a powerful lesson I learned from "Man's Search For Meaning". Victor Frankl is proof of the strength & resilience of man, in the face of seemingly hopeless circumstances. Another book I highly recommend is "Roots of Evil" by Ervin Staub, which delves into the origin of genocide & other dehumanizing acts of hate. The author was my college professor.Lisa Pearlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272346430094412715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847065118004871994.post-30876900769188406462011-11-10T16:45:32.538+05:302011-11-10T16:45:32.538+05:30Thank you for sharing these wonderful thoughts Sha...Thank you for sharing these wonderful thoughts Shashi :)Zeeneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433967420919186977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847065118004871994.post-91383457618270427652011-02-05T23:50:15.974+05:302011-02-05T23:50:15.974+05:30Thank you so very much for sharing this with me to...Thank you so very much for sharing this with me today.

As a young teacher, I used to read it in the teacher's lounge to make sure I wasn't losing my compass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847065118004871994.post-31723494204418373762011-01-14T23:20:58.479+05:302011-01-14T23:20:58.479+05:30Thank you Shashi.

He certainly has much to offer the world, based on his own experience of suffering. I may pick up his book.Myrna R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15088915165678737118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847065118004871994.post-60316160254034252552011-01-14T23:08:18.189+05:302011-01-14T23:08:18.189+05:30this is a book i will look for. peaks my interest ...this is a book i will look for. peaks my interest greatly.<br /><br />great quotes and info, Shashi<br />thank you for sharing.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423174840229628807noreply@blogger.com
