Description

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, at the same time as his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot steer clear of suffering but we will make a selection how to deal with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl’s theory-referred to as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (“meaning”)-holds that our primary drive in life isn’t pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we in my view find meaningful.

At the time of Frankl’s death in 1997, Man’s Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a “book that made a difference in your life” found Man’s Search for Meaning some of the ten most influential books in The us.
