What if the real opposite of despair isn’t happiness, but meaning?

Viktor Frankl wrote this book inside a concentration camp. And somehow, it doesn’t read like a story about suffering. It reads like a manual for staying human when everything else is stripped away.

In this episode, we explore a few quiet but unsettling ideas from Man’s Search for Meaning:

• Why meaning isn’t something you “find” but something life keeps asking of you

• The last freedom no one can take away: choosing your response, even in hellish conditions

• How having a future to serve can keep a person alive in the present

• Why suffering changes shape when it carries purpose

• How love becomes a serious survival tool

Figure out what you’re living towards. Everything else gets easier to place.
