SynopsisBased on his experiences in Nazi death camps, including Auschwitz, from 1942 to 1945, Frankl's timeless memoir and meditation on finding meaning in the midst of suffering argues that man cannot avoid suffering but can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose., 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 four 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 ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America. Beacon Press, the original English-language publisher of Man's Search for Meaning, is issuing this new paperback edition with a new Foreword, biographical Afterword, and classroom materials to reach new generations of readers., 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.

Enlightening and Profound!
I have read this book four tmes and each time I find it to be even more engaging and enlightening. Thirty years ago I taught in a men's prison in Hawaii. I passed around two copies of this book to my inmates. It was so applicable to their situation. This is the fifth time I have purchased this book because I lend it to friends and then they lend it to friends...... Well worth the purchase price which is very reasonable.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Not as inspirational as heard about
I have wanted to read this book for years because I've heard so many good things about it, so I finally bought it and dove right into reading it. I was sorely disappointed, I ended up only getting half way through the book before I decided not to finish it. I didn't enjoy the way it was written. I didn't feel like it flowed very well and I didn't enjoy the way the author told his story. It wasn't engaging or inspirational to me like "The Hiding Place" or "The Choice" were.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Thoughtfully written and makes good points.
A deeply personal account of a tragic experience. He doesn’t give up or become cynical but extrapolates from that experience lessons we should all ponder. His vision is positive and he exalts human dignity.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Wisdom for overcoming life's most difficult trials
Frankl"s life & experience gave him wisdom and determination that allowed him to provide excellent guidance for handling difficulties we encounter in our lives. Three years in Nazi concentration camps and surviving followed by a life of introspection and teaching makes his wisdom invaluable.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
