When Man's Search for Meaning was first published book in year, it was hailed by writer 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.

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.
