Man's Search for Meaning

When we are unable to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves

Viktor Frankl introduces the term 'logotherapy' in the second part of this book. Logotherapy holds that human beings are driven to find purpose and meaning in life.According to logo therapy we can discover the meaning in life in three different waysan :1. By creating a work or doing a deed2. By experienceing something or encountering someone3. By the attitude we take toward an avoidable suffering.

What is to give light must endure burning

Consider a movie: it conists of thousands of individual pictures, and each of them carries a meaning, yet the meaning of the whole film cannot be seen before its last sequence is shown. However, we cannot understand the whole film without having first understood each of its components.Isn't the same with life? Life is a story with meaningful moments that gradually converge towards a greater purpose, just like in a movie.

'Life is like a movie'

He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how

The author motivates you to embrace your sufferings and take pride in them, for your personal hardships have the potential to transform into remarkable triumphs.

From Tragedy to Truimph

What does not kill you, make you stronger.

This author'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 he labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, he 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. His theory, known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning") holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., Ph.D., was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy.His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Originally published in 1946 as Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.

Comparison is the thief of joy.Whatever we see on social media is an illusion. We get envious of things, relationships and lifestyles which don't even existWe often use social media to escape from the reality. Eventually, anxiety, depression and insecurity sprouts.
