Man's Search For Meaning
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is a seminal work that explores the human capacity to find purpose even in the most harrowing circumstances. Drawing from his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, Frankl examines how individuals can endure immense suffering when they perceive a meaning in their lives. The book is divided into two parts: the first recounts Frankl’s personal and psychological observations of life in the camps, highlighting the role of inner freedom and spiritual strength in survival; the second introduces his psychological theory of logotherapy, which posits that the primary human drive is the search for meaning rather than pleasure or power. Frankl argues that meaning can be discovered through love, purposeful work, and courage in the face of suffering. This work remains a cornerstone of existential psychology and a timeless reflection on resilience, purpose, and the human spirit.
