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. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl
labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his
parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own
experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice,
Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how
to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed
purpose. Frankl's theory--known as logotherapy, from the Greek word
logos ("meaning")--holds that our primary drive in life is not
pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of
what we personally find meaningful.
At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had
sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991
reader survey by the Library of Congress and the Book-of-the-Month
Club that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in
your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most
influential books in America.
Born in Vienna in 1905 Viktor E. Frankl earned an M.D. and a Ph.D.
from the University of Vienna. He published more than thirty books
on theoretical and clinical psychology and served as a visiting
professor and lecturer at Harvard, Stanford, and elsewhere. In 1977
a fellow survivor, Joseph Fabry, founded the Viktor Frankl
Institute of Logotherapy. Frankl died in 1997.
Harold S. Kushner is rabbi emeritus at Temple Israel in Natick,

William J. Winslade is a philosopher, lawyer, and psychoanalyst at
