Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed or a quest for power as Alfred Adler taught,but a quest for meaning.
- Viktor.E.Frankl
His Life Experiences
Dr.Viktor.E.Frankl's terrible experience at concentration camps gives meaning and hope to countless lives.
The experiences as a victim/prisoner in the concentration camp, the inhuman living conditions,the violence, brutality could break any human but the way Viktor.E.Frankl deals with it in the book is commendable while applying his logotherapy
Optimism & Motivation in dreadful Times
His writing and quotes in the book..the logotherapy mentioned itself is an optimistic way to deal with terrible situations in life.
I loved the way he mentioned love for his wife and love as a goal in life..it was indeed new and different to me as a reader.I am so moved as a reader after reading it..
The quotes in the book hits the bull's eye in the book as well as in real life.
