Man's Search for Meaning

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl


Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its life descriptions in Nazi death camps and its spiritual survival lessons. Based on his own experience and his patients' stories, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in the world; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
