This is a long short story (76 pages) about an unpleasant man who turns his life to the good after receiving a gift in the will of an old friend who he abandoned thirty years previously. Essentially this is a pitch for Viktor Frankl’s ideas about logotherapy. Not one for me.

There were a number of formatting issues with my copy which meant that on Kindle every full stop appeared as a �. There were some other errors, but this was the most serious. This made it very challenging to read the story and needs to be resolved before publication.


Thank you to NetGalley for making an advance copy of this book available for review. The opinions expressed above are entirely my own, following a full read of the book.

This book is a short story based on logotherapy about a man who lives a lonely life and whose sole focus in life is to be successful and rich. We follow that man through out his journey of discovering the true meaning of life and watch him transform his life to the better. The story captures perfectly the sad truth of many people's lives today, where social media and the race for success take over their lives. The story also shows the other side of that, a life with true meaning and purpose, and how easy it is to better ones life with only a change of thinking and a change of attitude.
This is a short story, that I read in one sitting, but it leaves a lasting impact and gives inspiration and something to think about and consider regarding ones own life. Definitely a must read for people who are feeling lost or lonely in life.
