We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to
think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily
and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but
in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking
the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to
fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.
When "Man's Search for Meaning" was first published in 1959, it was
hailed by Carl Rogers as "one of the outstanding contributions to
psychological thought in the last fifty years." Now, more than
forty years and 4 million copies later, this tribute to hope in the
face of unimaginable loss has emerged as a true classic. "Man's
Search for Meaning"--at once a memoir, a self-help book, and a
psychology manual-is the story of psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's
struggle for survival during his three years in Auschwitz and other
Nazi concentration camps. Yet rather than "a tale concerned with
the great horrors," Frankl focuses in on the "hard fight for
existence" waged by "the great army of unknown and unrecorded."
Viktor Frankl's training as a psychiatrist allowed him a remarkable
perspective on the psychology of survival. In these inspired pages,
he asserts that the "the will to meaning" is the basic motivation
for human life. This simple and yet profound statement became the
basis of his psychological theory, logotherapy, and forever changed
the way we understand our humanity in the face of suffering. As
Nietzsche put it, "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any
how." Frankl's seminal work offers us all an avenue to greater
meaning and purpose in our own lives-a way to transcend suffering
and find significance in the act of living.
