This book is intense. Frankl, a psychiatrist, describes his experiences in concentration camps in Nazi Germany. The book tells how he maintained his sense of meaning, and helped others discover that they still had their own, to make it through the tragedies of starvation, death and uncertain futures. The main message is there is not one meaning to life, but each of us have our own meanings, and where there is a why, there is a how to survive.
I learned about logotherapy, which makes intuitive sense. Humorous anecdote about the client who had been in psychoanalysis for 5 years being told the root of his problem was the relationship with his father when in fact he just needed/wanted a change in career! 😆 One or two sessions with Frankl and done! I wish we could all have a Frankl in our lives.
An incredible way to live life well. A WWII holocaust survivor story along with his perspective being a psychologist and neurologist.
