’What is the meaning of life?’ is one of those BIG questions that it is
seemingly impossible to find a satisfactory answer for.
In Britain today
we have so much freedom and opportunity that it can be difficult to see
the wood for the trees. But what if all of these suddenly disappeared.
With no freedom and no prospects what would be left to life?
Imprisoned for
years in the Nazi death camps Viktor Frankl witnessed this. The book
explores what enabled some prisoners to hold onto life, when many gave
up and surrendered to death.
Watch the video
below to see Viktor Frankl celebrating our human privilege to challenge
that there is a meaning to life, and what happens when man’s search for
meaning is frustrated.
Viktor Frankl’s
experiences, seen through the eyes of a psychiatrist offer a profound
perspective on how we carry out our daily lives.
Half biography and
half introduction to Logotherapy, this book is all thought provoking!
The biography is
compelling a compelling read. It is shocking in it’s lack of
sensationalism. Unthinkable acts are described in a completely matter of
fact manner. The introduction to Logotherapy then offers great insight
into the story that has just been related.
This book is
highly recommended for anyone undergoing their own search for meaning,
or looking to broaden their perspective on life.
There is a lot of
value to be had from reading “Man’s Search for Meaning”. Becoming
intimately aware of the meaning behind your own life is a source of
massive energy that can empower you to achieve even your most
extravagant goals!
