046: Unpacking Frankl's Wisdom


Listen Later

Viktor Frankl's book, Man’s Search for Meaning, gives a different perspective on the question we ask all the time. 

I think I had this idea that I’d read the book and have all the big answers.

But it’s actually a lot easier than that. 

Frankl said that, “Man should not ask what is the meaning of his life, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked.”

Because we create our meaning. And according to logo therapy, we can do that:

  • By creating a work or doing a deed. 
  • By experiencing something or encountering someone. 
  • By the attitude that we take toward unavoidable suffering.

Join me as we break it down in this episode so you can avoid what Frankl calls the “existential vacuum.” That what’s the point feeling dads get when overwhelm and stress pile up.
