Viktor Frankl's 'Search for Meaning'
In the horror of Nazi camps, Viktor Frankl found hope.
He called it finding meaning in the suffering.
His book, 'Man's Search for Meaning,' is a masterpiece that continues to inspire the world.
Here's the story of this survivor and one of the greatest thinkers of all time:
Born in 1905 in Vienna, Viktor Frankl studied medicine.
He was fascinated by how our brains and minds worked. This education laid the foundation for his life's work: understanding people's thoughts and feelings.
But his life changed dramatically.
Sent to a Nazi camp, he saw the worst of people, but also the best.
He saw how people reacted to suffering.
He realized that even in such horrible conditions, there was a way to find meaning.
This became the basis for logotherapy.
At its core, logotherapy is about finding a sense of purpose in life.
Viktor Frankl described it in his masterpiece book 'Man's Search for Meaning.'
It's the shocking story of his time in the Nazi atrocity camps.
According to Dr. Frankl, there are three ways to find meaning in life:
by creating,
experiencing,
or choosing your attitude.
These ideas set the foundations of logotherapy.
We can't control what's happening.
But we are free to decide how to react and what to do.
This approach changed the way we think about psychology.
His ideas still inspire millions of people around the world.
After the war, Dr. Frankl worked on helping others to find meaning.
He gave many talks and helped people as a therapist.
He believed that everyone had value and something to give to the world.
He passed away Sep 1997.
He was 92.
Viktor Frankl is a symbol of hope and strength.
His story reminds us that even when life gets extremely tough, we can still find a sense of meaning.
And that we can find ways to live a life that matters!
