Man’s Search for Meaning

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is one of the most influential books of the 20th century, blending memoir, psychology, and philosophy. Written by the renowned psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, Frankl recounts his harrowing experiences in Nazi concentration camps and how these shaped his understanding of life, suffering, and purpose.

The book is divided into two parts: the first provides a deeply moving personal narrative of survival, showing how hope and inner strength enabled prisoners to endure unimaginable suffering. The second introduces Logotherapy, Frankl’s groundbreaking psychological approach, which emphasizes the search for meaning as the primary human drive.

Frankl demonstrates that even in the darkest moments, life retains meaning, and our ability to find purpose determines our resilience. This timeless work continues to inspire readers across the world, offering hope, strength, and a reminder of the human spirit’s enduring power.
