Man’s Search for Meaning – Summarized for Busy People: Based On the Book By Viktor Frankl

This book summary and analysis was created for individuals who want to extract the essential contents and are too busy to go through the full version. This book is not intended to replace the original book. Instead, we highly encourage you to buy the full version.

Viktor Frankl’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning, stirs generations of readers with its portrayal of life in Nazi death camps and its psychological lessons for survival. Between 1942 and 1945, Frankl moved to four different camps while his family—parents, brother, and pregnant wife failed to survive. Drawing from his own experience and the experiences of others he later treated, Frankl asserts that suffering is unavoidable but we can choose how we can cope with it, find meaning in it, and live with a new sense of purpose. Frank’s logotherapy takes into consideration how our drive in life is not found in pleasure but through the discovery and pursuit of what is meaningful.

In 1997, Man’s Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. The Library of Congress found in their 1991 reader survey that the book was named one of the ten most influential books in America—naming it the book that made a difference in your life.

Quotes

  • pyq7gkhhbchas quotedlast year
    Love, in logotherapy, is not simply the satisfaction of sexual drives—that would be sex, but sex is only one of the vehicles for the expression of love.
  • pyq7gkhhbchas quotedlast year
    Logotherapy allows the individual to discover the meaning in her life in three ways: (1) by creating work or doing a deed; (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; or (3) by her attitude towards unavoidable suffering
  • pyq7gkhhbchas quotedlast year
    ells an individual what she has to do, according to Frankl, and sometimes he wouldn’t even know what he wants to do. So, he would then fall into doing what other people what others do (conformism) or doing what other people want her to do (totalitarianism).
