Man’s Search for Meaning - Summarized for Busy People: Based on the Book by Viktor Frankl
()
About this ebook
Viktor Frankl’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning, stirs generations of readers with its portrayal of life in Nazi death camps and its psychological lessons for survival. Between 1942 and 1945, Frankl moved to four different camps while his family—parents, brother, and pregnant wife failed to survive. Drawing from his own experience and the experiences of others he later treated, Frankl asserts that suffering is unavoidable but we can choose how we can cope with it, find meaning in it, and live with a new sense of purpose. Frank’s logotherapy takes into consideration how our drive in life is not found in pleasure but through the discovery and pursuit of what is meaningful.
In 1997, Man’s Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. The Library of Congress found in their 1991 reader survey that the book was named one of the ten most influential books in America—naming it the book that made a difference in your life.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Man’s Search for Meaning cannot be limited to being a book about the Holocaust. Victor Frankl not only shares his darkest experience as a prisoner in some of the harsh event’s most violent camps but also shares his message about his psychological philosophy: there is meaning in everything we do.
His experience as a prisoner of the Holocaust neither simply delineates the horrors that millions of people faced in concentration camps nor focuses on the heroes within the camp who saved themselves from their position, but Frankl’s aim was to show the everyday lives of the prisoners and how they’ve affected and validated his psychological theories. His message about hope and purpose even in the worst situations have been shared abundantly.
Frankl’s psychotherapy, logotherapy, shares how all individuals constantly strive for meaning and many patients with neuroses are caused by a lack of meaning. This is not just something that one discovers, rather, it is something that each individual defines for themselves. This may spill over to the work that one does, to the love they express to others, or to the way in which they endure suffering. Logotherapy focuses on suffering—wherein, even in the worst conditions such as in Auschwitz camp with no freedom, one can find meaning and purpose and through that, they can transcend their human limitations and endure their suffering with dignity and pride.
