Autoportrait by Edouard Leve, the whole book is written in one sentence facts about the author. Reading it in my early twenties sent me into an existential crisis it’s seriously so good

Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Franklin. He was in a psychologist and spent most of World War 2 in a concentration camp. The first half of the book is about his experiences around being Jewish and his time in the concentration camps, and the second half of the book revolves around his psychological theories about how people need to find meaning and purpose in their lives even during traumatic experiences.
