📖 BOOK SUMMARY: Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" is a work combining his experiences surviving Nazi concentration camps with the theoretical framework of his psychotherapy, logotherapy. The first part recounts his harrowing ordeal, highlighting the importance of finding meaning in suffering to endure unimaginable hardship. The second part details logotherapy, which posits that the will to meaning is the primary human motivational force, offering techniques like paradoxical intention to overcome existential frustration and neurosis. Frankl’s personal narrative powerfully validates his therapeutic approach, demonstrating how individuals can discover purpose even amidst profound suffering and loss. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility and tragic optimism in the face of adversity.
