It’s like having a fun dance party in your mind!
Man’s Search for Meaning: Finding Purpose in Life
Viktor E. Frankl’s book, "Man’s Search for Meaning," is like a big, warm hug from a wise grandparent.

This book is like a lighthouse in a storm, guiding us to find purpose and strength, even when things are really hard.
The Road Less Traveled: Growing with Love and Sass
M. Scott Peck’s book, "The Road Less Traveled," is like a sassy but loving mentor who always has your back.
