Viktor E Frankl

16 MILLION COPIES SOLD 'A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Man's Search For Meaning

This new collection of rediscovered works from bestselling author Viktor Frankl will provide a new set of lessons for those searching for meaning and purpose

From the bestselling author of Man's Search for Meaning , which has sold over 16 million copies

From the international bestselling author of Man’s Search for Meaning and Yes to Life in Spite of Everything comes a new collection of four previously unpublished works that expound on Frankl’s themes of finding purpose and meaning, with a focus on individual and collective responsibility.

This inspiring work is divided into four distinct parts, each offering a unique perspective on Frankl's timeless themes. Part 1, based on a 1955 article published in a medical journal is about the “collective neurosis” that Frankl believed took hold in the West after World War II, leading to a sense of emptiness in society. Part 2 is the transcript of a 1977 television interview where Frankl shares that to achieve a sense of meaning in life, individuals should primarily focus on others. Part 3 is based on a 1946 lecture where Frankl examines the relationship between freedom and responsibility in the search for a meaningful existence. Part 4 is based on lecture given in 1984 where Frankl brings his ideas through the decades together and expands on the idea of personal responsibility.

Embracing Hope

'Viktor Frankl gives us the gift of looking at everything in life as an opportunity' Edith Eger, bestselling author of The Choice Rediscovered masterpiece by the 16 million copy bestselling author of Man’s Search For Meaning Just months after his liberation from Auschwitz renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl delivered a series of talks revealing the foundations of his life-affirming philosophy. The psychologist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience and his conviction that every crisis contains opportunity. Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say ‘yes to life’ – a profound and timeless lesson for us all.

Psychological Writings of Viktor E. Frankl on the Human in the Image of Divine

Viktor Frankl is known to millions as the author of Man's Search for Meaning, his harrowing Holocaust memoir. In this book, he goes more deeply into the ways of thinking that enabled him to survive imprisonment in a concentration camp and to find meaning in life in spite of all the odds. Here, he expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.' In Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning, Frankl explores our sometimes unconscious desire for inspiration or revelation. He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine.
