About this listen
Viktor E. Frankl, cuya primera crisis existencial le sobreviene a una edad tan temprana como la que tenía Mozart cuando compuso su primer minué, fue incapaz de no dejar su impronta en el siglo XX: el siglo del replanteamiento de todos los valores, de la vertiginosa aceleración de todos los procesos y de la decadencia de las costumbres sometidas a una constante manipulación cotidiana.
Con una extraordinaria capacidad de percepción, Frankl dedicó su vida exclusivamente a un pensamiento fundamental que, antes de él, parecía innecesario: que la vida tiene un sentido y que dicho sentido no es una imaginación nuestra, sino que realmente existe. Podemos, pues, aplicar a Frankl la famosa frase de Goethe: «En el principio era el sentido».

Cada vez somos más impacientes y estamos más irritables. ¿Notas que te cuesta más prestar atención? ¿Has sentido ansiedad últimamente? ¿Toleras peor el aburrimiento y el dolor?

En cuestiones de dinero, lo que importa no es lo listo que seas sino cómo te comportas. Tendemos a pensar en la inversión o la gestión de las finanzas personales como una disciplina matemática, en la que los datos y las fórmulas nos dicen exactamente qué hacer. Sin embargo, el rasgo que define a las personas que logran enriquecerse no es su destreza con los números, ni su salario o su talento, sino su historia personal, sus motivaciones y su visión única del mundo.

"El hombre en busca de sentido" es el estremecedor relato en el que Viktor Frankl nos narra su experiencia en los campos de concentración. Durante todos esos años de sufrimiento, sintió en su propio ser lo que significaba una existencia desnuda, absolutamente desprovista de todo, salvo de la existencia misma. Él, que todo lo había perdido, que padeció hambre, frío y brutalidades, que tantas veces estuvo a punto de ser ejecutado, pudo reconocer que, pese a todo, la vida es digna de ser vivida y que la libertad interior y la dignidad humana son indestructibles.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.
