Having been mentored by Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of
logotherapy, Emeritus Professor David Guttmann authored this book
so general readers may understand this approach to finding meaning
in life at the point when most of us begin deeply wondering over
that question, at midlife and beyond. Especially in this day and
age of multiple demands on our time and seemingly non-stop
obligations, we too often find that it is only when the dust
settles, after a work day or work week, or even after retirement,
when we begin to wonder: What is the meaning of life? The purpose?
This book is a new millennium venture into those questions and
their answers using logotherapy, written by a sage understudy who
recalls Frankl, with his logotherapy, as the epitome of his theory
even at 80 years old, wise and witty, exuding an energy, enthusiasm
and youthful spirit that belied his years by decades. Aging does
not diminish our power, our energy, and our quest for life, but
reshapes it with new understandings, goals, and needs. But, says
Guttmann, we live in a technical and machine-based world now, in
which there is a danger of losing our souls. Here, readers find a
new, creative perspective on aging and a fresh spiritual
outlook.
This book will be of interest not only to general readers,
especially those at midlife and beyond, but also to their families,
friends, and students or professionals in the helping professions.
This unique work provides knowledge to find meaning in life derived
from the fields of philosophy, psychology, religion and
gerontology, with case illustrations and vignettes to give readers
both intellectual pleasure and practical guidance.
