Overview
A book for finding purpose and strength in times of great despair, the international best-seller is still just as relevant today as when it was first published. "This is a book I reread a lot . . . it gives me hope . . . it gives me a sense of strength.ö —Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360/CNN Man's Search for Meaning is more relevant than ever. Viktor Frank's message provides hope even in the darkest of times. It has sold more than 16 million copies in 50 languages. A reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your lifeö found Man's Search for Meaning among the 10 most influential books in America. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl'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, Frankl labored in 4 different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, 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. Frankl's theory—known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaningö)—holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
