Man's Search for Meaning

Born from Viktor Frankl's harrowing experience as a Holocaust survivor and prisoner at Auschwitz, Man's Search for Meaning is a searchingly influential books of the twentieth century. Frankl's account of finding purpose amid unimaginable suffering gave rise to logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy grounded in the conviction that the search for meaning is the primary drive of human life. The book has sold over sixteen million copies and remains a keystone of both psychology and philosophy.

Frankl's testimony emerged from the ashes of Auschwitz, transforming personal catastrophe into a universal meditation on the human capacity to find meaning even in the most extreme circumstances. His founding of logotherapy offered a therapeutic framework that complemented and challenged the dominant schools of Freudian and Adlerian psychology, influencing generations of clinicians, counselors, and thinkers.
