This book summarizes Viktor Frankl's 1946 lectures, delivered shortly after his liberation from a Nazi labor camp and profound personal loss. Daniel Goleman introduces Frankl's logotherapy, a psychiatric approach centered on finding meaning through purposeful action, love, and one's attitude toward unavoidable suffering. Frankl challenges passive optimism, advocating for individual responsibility and the belief that life constantly asks something of us. Even in the extreme conditions of concentration camps, he illustrates that individuals retain the freedom to choose their psychological response. The lectures emphasize that a profound sense of purpose is vital for resilience and survival, enabling one to face any hardship with dignity and embrace life's inherent value.
