The Will to Meaning

Brief Overview

The book "The Will to Meaning" by Viktor Frankl is an in-depth exploration of logotherapy, a psychotherapeutic method developed by the author. Frankl argues that the primary motivation of humans is the search for meaning in life, rather than the pursuit of pleasure or power. He examines various aspects of human existence, including suffering, freedom, and responsibility, and demonstrates how finding meaning can help individuals overcome life's challenges. Frankl shares examples from his practice and personal experiences, including his time in concentration camps, to illustrate how even in the harshest conditions, one can find meaning and maintain inner freedom. The book offers readers tools to discover and attain meaning in their own lives.
