Staff Review: Man's Search for Meaning

November 9, 2021 Words Worth Books

Title/Author: Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor E. Frankl

Genre(s): Psychology, Therapy, Philosophy

Psychologist Viktor Frankl’s vivid description of the Nazi death camps and his experience of survival and loss is captured in this classic biography.  Frankl was born in 1902 in Vienna, Austria and trained as a psychologist until the dawning of the Holocaust.  Surviving in four death camps through the war, Frankl lost his parents, pregnant wife, and brother.  Man’s Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in contemporary culture, shifting the cultural focus of life away from a pure drive for pleasure towards a drive for meaningful living.
