Alex Pattakos, Ph.D., a dedicated student of Frankl's thought, was urged by Frankl himself to write this important audiobook. In it, Pattakos draws on the entire body of Frankl's work, illustrating his philosophy through seven easy-to-understand principles:
1. Exercise the freedom to choose your attitude
2. Realize your will to meaning
3. Detect the meaning of life's moments
4. Don't work against yourself
5. Look at yourself from a distance
6. Shift your focus of attention
7. Extend beyond yourself
Through stories, examples, and thought-provoking exercises, Pattakos illustrates how you can apply each of these principles to various work situations and everyday life.
As Dr. Frankl would say, only we, as individuals, can answer for our own life by detecting the meaning at any given moment and assuming the responsibility for weaving our own unique tapestry of existence. The search for meaning at work offers us both formidable challenges and ample opportunities. Prisoners of Our Thoughts makes Frankl's seminal work accessible and relevant, opening up new opportunities for finding personal meaning through work and living an authentic life.©2007 Alex Pattakos, Ph.D. (P)2008 Gildan Media Corp

The author was a student of Viktor Frankl's who appears to have developed short course for business types (sort of a motivational speaker series talk) on applying the works of Viktor Frankl to life or to business. This book appears to be a repackaging of the short course. As is typical of genre the result is more affective then insightful.
However, I tried several of the proposed excursuses and was surprised at how valuable I found them. So although what the book actually says is somewhat disappointing, the exercises (e.g., make a list of people who have most influences you and answer the following questions about them) seemed unexpectedly good.
