Consider Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. Recommended by 100 sources.

“Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl recounts his survival in Nazi death camps, weaving together brutal details and insights about finding meaning in suffering. The first half is a gripping, horrifying memoir; the second half shifts to a philosophical framework he calls logotherapy. The book’s core appeal is its raw demonstration that even in hell, a sense of purpose can keep you alive. Some readers find the shift jarring and the later sections abstract. The ideas resonate best if you accept the spiritual overtones and personal anecdotes over a more analytical approach.”
