In Man’s Search for Meaning, Austrian Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl examines three versions of the meaning of life: the effort to achieve; love as a source of motivation; and the courage and dignity of the human spirit in the face of suffering. Frankl’s experience in a concentration camp and his examination of the questions of life and death led him to develop a new branch of psychotherapy that went beyond the pioneering word of Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler.
