Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life? Discover how meaning and purpose can give you the strength to survive anything.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is firstly a book about survival. It documents what Dr. Frankl learned about the meaning of life through the suffering he and others endured in Nazi concentration camps. During that horrific time he was able to find a hope that sustained him. After his experience, he fathered a new type of psychotherapy which challenged Freudian theories of the day and is explained thoroughly in Man's Search for Meaning.

You will learn:

· Why, even in the face of horrendous suffering, we are never powerless

· How holocaust survivors defy Freud's theory of the Pleasure Principle

· Why to find the meaning of life, you must look outside yourself rather than within.

Quotes

  • Søren Winther Ditlevsenhas quoted4 years ago
    Therefore, the concept that love of another can be one’s meaning of life works hand-in-hand with the theory of logotherapy, which states that man doesn’t find his purpose inside but, rather, outside of himself.
  • Татьяна Миропольскаяhas quoted4 years ago
    When trying to find your life’s meaning, look to how you’re feeling in a certain situation. Are you feeling fulfilled or anxious?
  • Татьяна Миропольскаяhas quoted4 years ago
    Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now.
