Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
Combinando vivencias con anΓ‘lisis mΓ©dico, este libro deja huella en todo aquel que lo lea. Lecciones, una tras otra, que te maravillan y asustan al mismo tiempo, y que espero que causen las mejores reflexiones en las mentes de toda persona digna.
Frankl's description of his terrible experiences in a Nazi concentration camp were clinical but also humanistic. I learned some things from his 'logotherapy' (meaning-therapy).
