Man search for meaning - I think that most people, at some point in their life face with the big question "What is the purpose of life ?". Author of this book is the one who can handle this huge question because he survived death camps, and noticed what give people will to live. Highly recommended.

Flow: Psychology of optimal experience - If you want do double down the concept of Flow (situations where you are so involved that you forgot to eat for the whole day (programming in my case)), how to achieve these situations, and how they work.

The lessions of history - This book is just a mine of great golden nugget thoughts.

Slight Edge - Stop looking for easy paths, for quantum leaps. Yes, this is hard, this is a slow path. But you need to follow it to achieve what you want from life. But do it wisely.

Thinking fast and slow and The power of habbit are also great :) Here you can find more of my favorite books: https://stasbar.com/

I read Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) decades ago and was impressed too. But a year or two ago I learnt more about his story. A reader of that book, which sold millions, would be surprised to learn, for example, that Frankl only spent a few days at Auschwitz, himself performed medical experiments on Jews, or that "in 1978 when attempting to give a lecture at the institute of Adult Jewish Studies in New York, Frankl was confronted with an outburst of boos from the audience and was called a nazi pig". Frankl's biographer wrote "...we know the reality of Auschwitz is that attitude mattered little for survival."
