What made the experience of listening to The Unheard Cry for Meaning the most enjoyable?
I purchased this book because it had the word "humanism" in the title. But, the book is not about Humanism, the brand of morality that goes with atheism. It was about being-human and finding purpose, meaning, and happiness.
THE TRULY STRANGE THING is that after reading/listening to this book to the end. I didn't feel the urge to drink alcohol anymore. THE URGE DISAPPEARED overnight and I was fixed. The book has nothing to do with urges or drinking, just happiness and meaning.
This book shines a tiny light on those big questions "why am I here?", "what should i be doing?".
If you’ve listened to books by Viktor E. Frankl before, how does this one compare?
I believe his other books have slight religious overtones. This one does not.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did have an extreme reaction -though I wasn't looking for it. I was interested in humanistic morality, but found information on happiness, purpose, and meaning.
Any additional comments?
This book is a collection of essays. Some of the chapters repeat information, and some chapters stray onto tangent topics. But the information is great.
