This stunning gift edition of โone of the great books of our timeโ (Harold S. Kushner) features new photos, end papers, and Franklโs never-before-published speeches and letters.
Hailed as โan enduring work of survival literatureโ by the New York Times, Viktor Franklโs account of his time in the Nazi concentration campsโand his insights into our ability to find meaning despite great adversityโhas offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. This stunning hardcover gift edition features previously unpublished materialโincluding letters, speeches, essays, and an 8-page photo insertโthat reveal Franklโs enduring lessons on perseverance and strength in even greater depth.
At the heart of Franklโs theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for โmeaningโ) is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Franklโs classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.
With more than 16 million copies sold in over 50 languages, this timeless masterpiece is โone of the outstanding contributions to psychological thoughtโ (Carl Rogers) and offers inspiration for coping with suffering and finding your purpose.
