By Viktor E. Frankl

Man’s Search for Meaning is a profound and deeply moving account of Viktor Frankl’s experiences as a Holocaust survivor and his development of logotherapy, a psychotherapeutic approach focused on finding meaning in life. The book, divided into two parts, is both a memoir and a philosophical guide to living with purpose even in the face of unimaginable suffering. Frankl argues that the search for meaning is the central motivational force in human life and that finding meaning, even in the darkest circumstances, can help people endure and transcend their suffering.
