The Will to Meaning

Foundations and Applications of Logotherapy

By: Viktor E. Frankl

Narrated by: Douglas James

Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl is known as the founder of logotherapy, a mode of psychotherapy based on human's motivation to search for meaning in his life. The author discusses his ideas in the context of other prominent psychotherapies and describes the techniques he uses with his patients to combat the "existential vacuum".

Originally published in 1969 and compiling Frankl's speeches on logotherapy, The Will to Meaning is regarded as a seminal work of meaning-centered therapy. This new and carefully adapted audio version is read from the 2014 print edition.

Great read

Frankl is a genius with incredible insights. His will to meaning is both profound and compelling.

Gave me great advice

Using one’s body as a vessel to pursue a meaning, a will to live and to accept one’s mental health status. It’s a beautiful book of hope. A gem. But, he did preform a few lobotomies I learned. Loved it for the most part, yet it shows that even Dr Frankl was not immune to the zeitgeist of his era.

Great dive into logo therapy

This book seemed a logical read after mans search for meaning and recollections.

I’m finding a great curiosity into existentialism and logo therapy and how it ties into life coaching and this book has open up a few doors and indicated some additional paths to explore.

Another Triumph of Frankl

While more technical in nature as compared to Man's Search for Meaning, it is still follow-able by the layman. However, don't miss the forest for the trees when Frankl bears down psychotherapeutic and philosophical content. He always provides concrete metaphors, analogies, and parables when his language becomes cerebral. A must read for those who want a deeper dive into logotherapy and existential analysis.

must read

the depth of logotherapy is defined to an even clearer picture. a Must-Read for anyone who wants but another weapon in their arsenal as they fight against the many enemies that can be encountered in the world, whether they be internal or external.
