“Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor E. Frankl is a profound exploration of human resilience and the quest for meaning in the face of profound suffering. Drawing from his experiences as a Holocaust survivor, Frankl reflects on the psychological and existential challenges individuals face in extreme circumstances. The first part of the book recounts his personal journey in Nazi concentration camps, highlighting the brutal conditions and the mental struggles faced by prisoners. In the second part, Frankl introduces his therapeutic approach, logotherapy, which emphasizes finding meaning in all forms of existence, even in the most challenging circumstances. He argues that individuals can endure almost any suffering if they find purpose and meaning in their lives, asserting that the search for meaning is a fundamental human drive.
