About this listen

Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl is known as the founder of logotherapy, a mode of psychotherapy based on human's motivation to search for meaning in his life. The author discusses his ideas in the context of other prominent psychotherapies and describes the techniques he uses with his patients to combat the "existential vacuum".

Originally published in 1969 and compiling Frankl's speeches on logotherapy, The Will to Meaning is regarded as a seminal work of meaning-centered therapy. This new and carefully adapted audio version is read from the 2014 print edition.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great read

Using one’s body as a vessel to pursue a meaning, a will to live and to accept one’s mental health status. It’s a beautiful book of hope. A gem. But, he did preform a few lobotomies I learned. Loved it for the most part, yet it shows that even Dr Frankl was not immune to the zeitgeist of his era.

Gave me great advice

This book seemed a logical read after mans search for meaning and recollections.

I’m finding a great curiosity into existentialism and logo therapy and how it ties into life coaching and this book has open up a few doors and indicated some additional paths to explore.

Great dive into logo therapy

While more technical in nature as compared to Man's Search for Meaning, it is still follow-able by the layman. However, don't miss the forest for the trees when Frankl bears down psychotherapeutic and philosophical content. He always provides concrete metaphors, analogies, and parables when his language becomes cerebral. A must read for those who want a deeper dive into logotherapy and existential analysis.

Another Triumph of Frankl

the depth of logotherapy is defined to an even clearer picture. a Must-Read for anyone who wants but another weapon in their arsenal as they fight against the many enemies that can be encountered in the world, whether they be internal or external.

a little too academic and philosophical and therefore here and there hard to understand but totally worth to listen to.

Great inside

I've read and again listened to Man's Search for Meaning and found it valuable. After watching several videos of interviews with Dr Frankl, I thought of learning more about this concept of meaning. I can definitely relate to this school of thought.

Deep, but deserving of a repeat listen

I love his ability to teach you how you can find meaning and purpose in your life. Even if you’re stuck in true nihilism. Most helpful work for me personally and I definitely recommend.

A most important read for our time.

I was enthralled by this book. V.F. has immediate ly begun a new journey for me and given a deeper meaning to my walk of faith as a Christian and has expanded my perspective of being and becoming and how man can move forward in understanding suffering and see beyond to a brighter future.

Even more relevant in 2021
