Man's Search for Meaning

In Man’s Search for Meaning, one of the leading psychiatrists of the 20th century, which has been translated into over thirty foreign languages ​​and sold over 12 million copies worldwide, Viktor Frankl describes the principles of logotherapy, which he founded, along with his experiences in a concentration camp during World War II.
Readers will notice that the concentration camp that Frankl describes becomes a brilliant metaphor that will enable us to comprehend the world as a larger prison. In light of the ideas we are familiar with from Gasset, Heidegger and Sartre, Frankl describes the process that will help us discover “meaning” in the harsh conditions of existence and also tries to answer the question, “What makes a human being human?”

“What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude towards life. We had to learn, and moreover, we had to teach desperate people, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but what really mattered was what life expected from us. We had to stop asking questions about the meaning of life and instead think of ourselves as people who were being questioned by life every day, every hour. "Our answer had to consist not of talk or meditation, but of right action and right lifestyle. Ultimately, life means finding the right solutions to problems and taking responsibility for the fulfillment of the tasks that it constantly sets for each individual."
