Listen "Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into Viktor Frankl's timeless classic, Man’s Search for Meaning. Blending personal narrative with deep psychological insight, we explore how Frankl’s experiences as a concentration camp survivor shaped his development of logotherapy — the idea that our primary drive is not pleasure or power, but meaning. We unpack the psychological stages of camp life, the behaviour of prisoners under extreme conditions, and how even in suffering, individuals can find purpose. We also discuss the core pillars of logotherapy: meaning through creativity, experience, and attitude, as well as the power of choice and responsibility. This conversation is a powerful reflection on the resilience of the human spirit and the universal need for purpose in our lives.DisclaimerThis podcast episode contains commentary and discussion based on the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
