If you think your life is hard, you need to read this book.
Here are 12 powerful lessons from "The Happiest Man on Earth":
1/
"My number was 172338. This was now my only identity. They even took your name from you–no longer a man, just a gear turning slowly in a great killing machine."
2/
"Auschwitz was a death camp. You never knew when you got up in the morning if you would come back to your bed."
3/
"The average survival time of a prisoner in Auschwitz was seven months."
4/
"In Auschwitz, there was no past, no future–only survival."
5/
"1,200 Czech men were housed in what had once been a stable for eight horses. The conditions were so harsh that sickness and starvation were inevitable."
6/
"The human body is the greatest machine ever made, but it cannot run without the human spirit."
7/
"If I could survive one more day, an hour, a minute, then the pain would end and tomorrow would come."
8/
"Where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there is life."
9/
"There are always miracles in the world, even when all seems hopeless."
10/
"You will never be happy if you look at your neighbor and make yourself sick with jealousy."
11/
"My father used to say to me there is more pleasure in giving than in taking, that the important things in life–friends, family, kindness–are far more precious than money."
12/
"Happiness is the only thing in the world that doubles each time you share it...As for you my new friend? I hope that your happiness doubles too."
