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.

The content is life changing but the edition is very poor in quality: even for a softcover, it's a disapointment for such a good book. It's very small, the paper choice is disapointing bookbinding is poor quality, the cover starts peeling very quickly. I just think such a good book in it's content, deserved a much better quality in the making of the book itself.

Es un libro sencillo de leer y muy muy bueno, para los que empezeis a leer inglés y os guste la psicologia, es impresionante lo que aprendes de este hombre. Lo que mas me ha gustado de el libro es la segunda parte en la que habla sobre la logoterapia. Por cierto, si no os sentís cómodos leyendo cosas durillas os recomiendo que vayais poco a poco ya que es bastante durillo incluso intentando no serlo.

Un testimonio único sobre una situación vivencial extrema que demuestra la capacidad de las personas para no sucumbir moralmente a pesar de encontrarse ante las máximas adversidades posibles. Viktor E. Frankl fue superviviente de varios campos de concentración durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y su dramática historia es un llamamiento al optimismo incluso en las peores condiciones. Su perspectiva para análizar la vida de un campo de concentración proviene de sus conocimientos sobre psiquiatría. El libro cuenta con una introducción a la logoterapia que se añadió a la edición publicada en los 60.

Realmente poco que decir que no se haya dicho ya sobre esta obra. El doctor Frankl, nos narra la forma de encontrar sentido a la vida en situaciones tan desagradables como la que fue el holocausto.

Es un libro que hay que leer con detenimiento y atención, pues es breve pero muchos de los párrafos contienen un gran significado. Si posees ese tiempo y paciencia, lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Y es que los libros que pasan la prueba del tiempo como este será por algo. Es fácil publicar las mismas ideas una y otra vez pero pintadas de otro color, sin embargo, este libro es pionero: menos marketing y más ideas.

A very interesting, touching, inspirational book. Raw and realistic, pictures the naked human behaviour and mind. Motivational and really helps to be grateful and understand how we can really understand our life's meaning. I reccomend reading it over and over since every time you learn something different. Amazing piece of work. Grateful for the author's power.

Victory of the Human Spirit from the depths of Human Existence

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 12 de abril de 2023

Compra verificada

I first read this book over 20 years ago. It was given to me by a friend who knew me, knew the book, and knew we would get on well together. It helped me at a difficult time, not so much that I needed meaning in my life, but I needed help in interpreting the meaning of my personal circumstance, and how I might move forward with what he shares in the book.
This book can't be for everyone. There are many who are simply not interested in giving meaning, defining purpose, or in need of direction in their life. I have given this book to a few over the years, all whom I knew would benefit in some way, or interpret it in a way that would help them to look at their life in a manner that would offer a perspective that may alter, or assist them with, their current outlook.
There is a quote attributed to Socrates - "The unexamined life is not worth living" . But I know many whom have no interest in examining their life, yet are leading very worthwhile lives. So this book simply cannot appeal to all. There are, however, many others who examine their lives all the way along, through all their experiences, the highs and the lows. This book, I feel, will appeal to those.
Frankl's experiences are very personal. But misery is something experienced the world over. Thankfully, I never experienced the horrors that he and so many others did, but his perspective and lessons learned from his journey and survival can guide those who seek to look at their life differently. Frankl witnessed the very extreme of human suffering and human depravity, and the book documents his journey through this. But although this is personal to Frankl, the survival of the human spirit and the meaning of our lives in times of hardship and challenges, are things to which many of us can relate, and oft need guidance. And few of us can find it harder to find meaning in our lives than those who were sent to concentration camps. A line from the book I revisit since I read the book all those years ago is a Nietzsche quote within it - "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how”.

L’homme ne peut vivre sans donner un sens à sa vie.

Revisado en Francia 🇫🇷 el1 de septiembre de 2021

Compra verificada

« Man’s Search for Meaning » résulte des expériences vécues par Viktor E. Frankl dans les camps de concentration de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.

La quête de sens, d’une mission à accomplir, est d’après Viktor, le facteur qui a déterminé la survie, ou la mort des prisonniers. L’homme qui n’a rien pour vivre, rien pour le porter à travers son existence, non seulement, se traîne à travers les journées, mais se dirige lentement vers sa mort.

Viktor parle de « vide existentiel » — lorsqu’une personne souffre d’un manque terrible de sens à sa vie. Et l’homme qui n’a alors rien pour le guider dans la vie, navigue le monde à la peur. Ainsi, vient le conformisme : l’individu préfère suivre la masse (car ne sachant pas ce qu’il veut), ou le totalitarisme : l’individu suit ce qu’on lui ordonne de faire (car ne sachant pas ce qu’il veut).

Ces personnes alors en proie à leur vide existentiel n’ont pour seul réconfort que les plaisirs, la gratification immédiate. Dans les camps de concentration, ceux ayant abandonné, sortaient de leur poche une cigarette durement protégée pour commencer à la fumée. Les autres autour savaient que les cendres tombant des lèvres de ces hommes, représentaient leurs dernières lueurs de vie.

Seulement, les cigarettes étaient le seul plaisir immédiat dans la vie infernale des camps. Dans la vie de tous les jours, notamment en ce qui concerne les jeunes, les choix se font plus nombreux.

C’est ainsi, que Viktor explique la débauche de la jeunesse — créée par un vide existentiel — qui pour alors se conforter dans leur existence creuse, se jette sur drogues, alcools, et activités sexuelles. Le livre va même plus loin : agressions et suicides.

Ceux n’ayant pas un sens à leur vie, ne peuvent vivre pour le futur. Alors, ils sont naturellement en proie aux émotions de l’instant, et qu’importent les effets sur le lendemain, car celui-ci n’a pas de sens.

Bien sûr, le but de ce livre n’est pas d’extrapoler sur le manque de sens de la vie de certains, et les problèmes que cela engendre. Mais bien, d’offrir aux gens, l’opportunité de créer du sens de leur souffrance. D’arriver à trouver un sens à leur existence — car il y en a bien un.

Viktor parle de retourner la question. Ne pas chercher ce que l’on veut de la vie, mais plutôt, chercher ce que la vie veut de nous. Chacun est unique et irremplaçable. Chacun à sa pierre à apporter à l’édifice. Chacun est venu ici pour une raison. Chacun est mis au défi chaque jour par la vie.

Ainsi, aussi unique et irremplaçable que nous sommes. Nous avons chacun, une ou des uniques choses, que nous seuls pouvons accomplir. Des choses merveilleuses qui sans nous, ne verraient pas le jour.

Et comme chacun est unique, il n’existe pas de réponse globale au « sens de la vie ». Mais plutôt, un sens à la vie de chacun — en fonction du moment et de la situation. Ainsi, la destinée n’est que les choses auxquels, un, doit faire face, avec courage et surtout dignité.

Viktor veut donc qu’on prenne la responsabilité de notre vie, et de nos actes. Il veut aussi que l’on comprenne que la vie n’est pas à vivre sans effort. Mais plutôt sous tension, dans la réalisation d’une quête librement choisie.

La souffrance est quelque chose qui fait pleinement partie de la vie. Ainsi lorsqu’elle ne peut être évitée, l’homme peut toujours exercer son bien le plus puissant : son attitude face à l’évènement. Si tu ne peux pas contrôler ce qui arrive, tu peux toujours contrôler comment tu y réagis, comment tu y fais face.

La souffrance peut ainsi être transformée. Tu peux trouver un sens à ta souffrance. Que ce soit une préparation pour des évènements à venir, ou quelque chose de nécessaire à ton évolution. La souffrance doit être remise en perspective — pour en comprendre l’objectif. En bref, ce qui t’arrive à une raison d’être, et si tu arrives à la trouver, tu te hisseras au-dessus de la souffrance.

Néanmoins, Viktor insiste bien que la souffrance n’est pas nécessaire à la quête de sens. Mais, bien que la quête de sens soit possible en dépit. Ainsi, quand la souffrance est inutile et évitable, il faut l’éviter. Dans le cas contraire, cela serait du pur masochisme et non, comme l’auteur le dit, de l’héroïsme.

Pour finir, Viktor dit que l’homme n’est ni guidé par (et vers) la puissance, l’argent, ou le plaisir. Mais bien, par (et vers) un sens, une signification, à ses actes et à sa vie.

« Celui qui a un "pourquoi" qui lui tient lieu de but, peut vivre n'importe quel "comment". »
- Nietzsche

Et ce livre a la volonté de te montrer comment tu peux trouver ton pourquoi. Pour que tu puisses endurer n’importe quel comment. Pour que ta vie semble riche de sens, et destinée à accomplir quelque chose de plus grand que toi-même.

Le sens est la plus grande force de motivation. Sans elle, nous sommes vides et mourants. Avec elle, nous fleurissons.

« Man’s Search for Meaning » est bel-et-bien une lecture indispensable à notre époque, où trop souvent nous pensons à tort, que tout est perdu, quand tout encore est à faire.

An Introspective Journey

Revisado en India 🇮🇳 el 1 de junio de 2023

Compra verificada

"Man's Search for Meaning" is a profound book written by Viktor E. Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. In his book, Frankl explores the human experience and the quest for meaning in life, drawing upon his own experiences in Nazi concentration camps. He delves into the importance of finding purpose and how it can help individuals navigate through suffering and adversity. Frankl's work has had a significant impact on existential psychology and continues to inspire readers to reflect on the meaning of their own lives.
However, some readers might find the book repetitive or overly philosophical, as Frankl’s existential theories are woven throughout his personal narrative. Additionally, the book’s focus on suffering and the Holocaust may not resonate with everyone, potentially limiting its universal appeal.

Tough, tough book to read. It gets to you, you have to be inhumane not to be disturbed or unsettled. Read it slowly, chew it finely, regurgitate and re-chew it, do this as many time as you need to. This is not a one time read book. It is not a quick pop in one or one to add to the bragging list of the number of books we read in a year. It is a life changing book, a deep one that goes to the core of man’s existence. Viktor’s experience and his ability to interrogate and leverage such experience to produce this masterpiece is divine. It is a stunning piece of work that produces unparalleled hope for the open minded person.

This book is jarring and grating to the soul as it recounts the harrowing experience of man kind in the hands of fellow human, it however also reveal the resilience of the human spirit and it’s ability to withstand and overcome the most intolerable circumstance.

This book is a gem birthed from the most deplorable situation that human can be subjected to, polished to perfection in the suffering and glittering as a light to guide us as we go through our own dark night. Admonishing us to rise above our own sufferings whatever it may be and find the grace to ascend spiritually. A book of hope for a soft and weaken age that sees no value in suffering and inconvenience.

The second part of the book gets heavier, more academic, chewy and requiring more intellectual jaw muscle to digest. This is where Viktor starts to unravel the theory of Logotherapy and the intention of the book, the Auschwitz story, while no less significant and gripping is the bait to entice us to hear the harder lecture about the meaning of life and hopefully by the time we reach this stage in the book, we are well rooted in our seats and less likely hop off.

Finding meaning in suffering whilst it might not inspire envy builds strength. Also understanding that human experience might not be the ultimate cosmos and there other realm by which our suffering make sense and this will possibly be the answer to those that ask why does God allow suffering.

The second part on logotherapy is a thoroughly delicious intellectual read, some of the thoughts on the meaning of life is crunchy, sumptuous, thought provoking, beautiful and enlightening. A satisfying intellectual work out.

This book and section on Logotherapy does us an immense favour, breaking open the hard surface of ignorance regarding our suffering to stretch us out of the indulgent mindset of soften civilian to a transcendent one that accurately translate and value his suffering not trading it cheaply by complaining, becoming despondent or seeking sympathy. It guides us to treasure that which constricts but reveals meaning in our life. It forces growth and maturity in otherwise hopeless situation and like roots we shoot out of the deserts of our lives.

Amazing book

Revisado en India 🇮🇳 el 2 de mayo de 2019

Compra verificada

OMG! It’s a good knowledgeable and yet thrilling book. I have not come across any such book with combination of these two aspects together in one book.

So, here is the summary & take away from this thrilling story.

The author was a neurologist and psychiatrist. So, by education he knew technical brain anatomy (being neurologist) as well as logical and emotional aspects of human behavior with respect to the brain functioning (being psychiatrist). He spent 3 years in various concentration camps which were basically prisons where Nazis (hitter’s army) used to keep potential threat like prisoner of wars and Jewish during holocaust in 1940 (somewhat during second world war).

The book is a journey of the author’s surviving in various camps during his 3 years tenure where he went through immense physical torture, hyper anxiety, inhumane living conditions, insufficient food and unhealthy environment of deadly diseases. The details on tortures were so horrifying that they will give you goosebumps by imagining how humanely it was impossible to bear such pain. The life of prisoner was only a number (a number was printed on everyone’s body) for guards and they looked for every possible opportunity to torture and kill prisoners.

At various instances he explained the two aspects of feeling in one scenario where a person is feeling horrified and blessed at the same time. For instance, once few people along with him were standing bare feet in snow for 8 hours straight in one of the camp they were recently transferred and due to frostbite on their foot there was immense pain but at the same time they were happy as standing outside in snow they observed that there was no chimney in the camp (chimney showed that there were gas chambers in camp where prisoners were burned alive). Another instance he talked is that one day they were getting transferred in a train and everyone was anxious that they were getting shifted to a death camp where all of them will be killed yet they happy to see outside scenery after a long time from small holes in train.

Author explained that there are various mental stages a person goes through in such camp and at the last stage he becomes numb to death. Imagine that a person is so much scared for a long time that he doesn’t feel scared anymore. His emotional imbalance causes various types of behavioral changes which ultimately makes him inhumane emotionally, after all emotions are something which makes a man different from other living creatures.

Now, here to avoid going into the last mental stage where the person gives up the hope to live and dies author explains the ways or tips using which he survived and as well as he help few among himself survive. The first tip is, let me quote exactly what he mentioned in the book is “He who has ‘WHY’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘HOW’. So basically, he explained that if a person has a reason and hope to survive and sees a logical ending to these sufferings will be able to survive. Let me try to explain the reason he has referred here, there were two people in the camp who gave up the hope and wanted to commit suicide author asked few questions to them which made them realize that what reason they must live for. One person had a small kid which would be waiting for him in some other country, so he realized that one day he might have chance to go and live with his kid. Another person had an unfinished script which only he could complete on which he was working from a very long time before he was captured and sent this camp, so he realized that one day he will get freedom and will complete his pending script.

Another point to note in above mentioned instance is the reason or hope to live can be anything, it may be a personal matter to you, another human in your life or a thing also. He said “A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears towards other human who affectionately waits for him or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw his life as he knows the WHY for this life & existence and hence will be able to bear with almost any HOW”.

He also talked about stimulus and response control which I think was better explained by Steven covey in his book. But one of the quote he put in the book was worth mentioning that “everything can be taken from a man but one thing, and that is one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances”.

Lastly, he talked about happiness where he says that “happiness cannot be pursued but ensued”. The happiness is internal, and its means changes time to time, situation to situation, to person to person and like there cannot be a standardize rule to happiness like next movement in a game of chess as movement will be specifically based on current position of other players chess components (hope you understand what I mean). Happiness comes in alignment with your core values in life and which is why it changes time to time, person to person.

What I did not like about the book is that there were disconnection in the story he narrated and the journey in camp is not in proper sequence, he only explained some random days and instances which sometime become irritating and disappointing. I understand that the prime purpose of the book was not to take the reader through the day by day, event by event his tenure in camp, but it is to only to use such events of the camp as context to explain the point he is trying to make about human behavior. But I felt that it would have been a very great story of his survival to go through day by day in detail.

4 out of 5. So, what’s your meaning of life at this moment in this phase of your life…...? Think about it.
