A book for finding purpose and strength in times of great despair, the
international best-seller is still just as relevant today as when it was
first published.
"This is a book I reread a lot . . . it gives me hope . . . it gives
me a sense of strength."
--Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360/CNN
This seminal book, which has been called "one of the outstanding
contributions to psychological thought" by Carl Rogers and "one of the
great books of our time" by Harold Kushner, has been translated into
more than fifty languages and sold over sixteen million copies. "An
enduring work of survival literature," according to the New York
Times, Viktor Frankl's riveting account of his time in the Nazi
concentration camps, and his insightful exploration of the human will to
find meaning in spite of the worst adversity, has offered solace and
guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946.
At the heart of Frankl's theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for
"meaning") is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure,
as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the
individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new
challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl's
classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the
very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.
A must-read companion to this classic work, a new,
never-before-published work by Frankl entitled Yes to Life: In Spite of
Everything, is now available in English.
This book was published with two different covers. Customers will be
