eServus Comments:
I used to say the most important is how we relate to any situation we face. Our attitude is very important. “Man’s Search for Meaning” gives me more power to invite others to pursue own life sense and practicing its fulfillment. Viktor Frankl shows that practicing freedom of choice and dignity was possible even in conditions of Auschwitz where Frankl spent many long months of 1940s.

The book gently combines the camp’s stories of the author with his introduction of Logotherapy. Re the latter, the following list of tenets represents Frankl’s basic principles of Logotherapy:
Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
We have inalienable freedom to find meaning.

We can find meaning in life in three different ways, by:
Creating a work or doing a deed;
Experiencing something or encountering someone;
The attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.

Publisher’s Summary:

Internationally renowned psychiatrist, Viktor E. Frankl, endured years of unspeakable horror in Nazi death camps. During, and partly because of, his suffering, Dr. Frankl developed a revolutionary approach to psychotherapy known as logotherapy. At the core of his theory is the belief that man’s primary motivational force is his search for meaning.

Man’s Search for Meaning is more than a story of Viktor E. Frankl’s triumph: it is a remarkable blend of science and humanism and an introduction to the most significant psychological movement of our day.
