Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl | Large Print

Man’s Search for Meaning brings together two closely connected parts of Viktor Frankl’s life and work: his experiences as a concentration-camp prisoner and his development of logotherapy, an approach to psychotherapy centered on the search for meaning.

Frankl reflects on the psychological responses he observed among prisoners living under extreme deprivation and uncertainty. From these experiences, he explores the importance of purpose, responsibility and the possibility of choosing one’s attitude toward circumstances that cannot be changed.

The book then introduces the principles behind logotherapy and Frankl’s belief that the desire to find meaning is one of the fundamental motivations of human life.

It is ultimately a book about meaning, responsibility, suffering, hope and the human capacity to choose how we respond to life.
