Man's Search for Meaning

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.

First published in 1946, Man's Search for Meaning has remained relevant for over 80 years — a mark of lasting literary value that few books achieve.

It sits at the crossroads of Nonfiction, Psychology, and Philosophy, making it appealing to readers with varied tastes who enjoy stories that defy easy classification.
