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. 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 if the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
Born in Vienna in 1905, Viktor E. Frankl published more than thirty books in theoretical and clinical psychology and gained international renown. He died in 1997.
