Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl (who was a professor in neurology and psychiatry) is one of the most powerful books I’ve ever read. The book chronicles Viktor Frankl’s experiences as an Auschwitz concentration camp inmate during WWII. During his time in camp, he is tortured, beaten, worked to the brink of death, not given enough food or proper clothes/shoes during freezing temperatures. He was subjected to vermin, frost bitten toes, and edema. He paints a truly a horrific existence of his day to day camp life. Daily, people dropped dead all around him (from disease and starvation) and are executed for no reason at all. His mother, father, brother, and wife were all killed in the camps. With all this in mind, how could he find life worth preserving?

The story of the man whose wife died was very confusing. I think what you meant for the doctor to say was "what if you had died" but he says "what if your wife died?" which was already the premise of the scene. The man's only realistic response is "wait, I thought she had died. She's alive?"

I suffered a chronic anxiety,/panic disorder morphed into crippling agoraphobia for 10 years. Those 10 years were of unemployment too..the last 4 years i didn't go more than 20 minutes from my home in Dublin Ireland. I overcame this in 2019. Got a small job and ended up getting on a plane to Paris my first flight ✈️ in ten years. Now i live here and have my own anxiety Business coaching people from all over the World. I just ordered this book yesterday I can't wait to read it 🧠🙏🏽 i really found meaning in my suffering. Always so grateful

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. . I've had some really terrible panic attacks/anxiety throughout my life and always try to see the meaning in it. Meditation helps too :). Anxiety was the catalyst that got me to where I am today (introspection, etc.).. It's really not a curse (although people feel like it is). I'm glad you overcame yours and are now helping others. Very good to hear. Your comment and timing struck me - I'm mostly Irish (originally from the UK) and I'm visiting Paris with my wife this summer! I hope you enjoy the book - there is a PDF copy on the internet archive for free as well. I believe there is a link in the description of the video. Thanks again for your nice comment.

I’ve found that Frankl’s quote is really meaningful to someone like me with severe anxiety problems. I worry about literally everything not being “perfect.” And I bully myself when it’s not. Using his quote “when we are no longer able to change our situation, we are challenged to change our ourselves” helps tremendously. Instead of bullying myself for not being able to make something “perfect,” I now look to change my approach and attitude to the situation to feel better. And I realize that a useful modification, for anyone with anxiety, to the quote is that we can choose when we want to change our situation, if possible, or when we rather change our approach. It’s okay not to be perfect.

Hey noodle- that is so true. I suffer from the same as you. I need to read this book. Sometime I have to do something imperfectly just to try to break the cycle of trying to make everything I do perfect. That only works for a short time. Then back to being upset with myself when I don't do something as perfectly as I want. But I keep working on it everyday. With there was some sort of club for people like us. Maybe like an AA meeting. Perfectionists Anonymous.

My purpose was born out of my suffering too. I suffered from thanataphobia (extreme fear of death) for half my life. I now spend my life helping others recover. My purpose found me, not the other way round. even now, at times, i suffer from catastrophic thinking, and in those moments, turning that panic into an opportunity to learn and get through it so i can help others to do the same, is what helps me get through it

Nice summary. Thank you. I am 50 years old and my "WHY?" has changed over time so if you are searching for your purpose/meaning keep in mind that your Why today may be a different why tomorrow. So don't spend years contemplating ONE meaning or purpose. "Sleeping on it" has always yielded results for me. Before bed say "thank you God/Source/Universe for helping me find my purpose" and see what happens. Be ultra receptive to everything.

Years ago, I dated a girl whose father was an Auschwitz survivor. The girl would complain about her life: she didn't like her boss, or she lost her car keys, or she forgot to file her income tax and had to pay a penalty. The dad had a great sense of humor. When she'd complain -- once that the chicken dinner had gone cold -- he'd turn to me and say: "I survived the Holocaust for two long years, and she had a bad day. Glass of wine?"

To think about that why deeply is in essence the core of philosophy. For someone to have seen and experienced that level of suffering and still hold such strong ideals and seek to educate is an incredible feat of strength

Thanks. Read this book several years ago. Pain is our greatest teacher. The meaning of life can never be fathom without real pain or suffering. It is our human nature that if life is too good or luxurious we will never wait up to realize the meaning of life. It is unfortunate that such lesson cannot be learn from class intellectually or reading some books. You must face the real suffering in order to wake up your unconscious characteristics. Until such time you will realize your conscious choice to generate the right response everytime at every moment of your life is most crucial for your happiness. Learn how to live in the NOW.

that a huge question to answer. Just waiting for it will cause frustration until it happens. Avoid that by asking yourself, what's the purpose of my life "right now" for my purpose is constantly changing. As you fulfill your "right now" goals you then get a feeling of constant fulfillment. Then do it over and over and feel fulfillment over and over.

That need for meaningfulness is definitely something I believe God set in our hearts as one of the many voids he placed for himself to fill in a loving relationship with him. While animals seem to find satisfaction in simple survival, reproduction, and passing empty pleasure, we where made for so much more. Ever sense I came into a close relationship with God, I don't know how to express how much meaning and hope and peace he poured into my life! Before him, sure, I had obsessions to live for and I got excited over them and they comforted me and REALLY meant a lot to me...but my heart was not made for any counterfeit. Those things are nothing in comparison to the one true God I was born to live for. 💙☀️

I noticed @ 4:24 you have it backwards. The Doctor asked him to imagine "What if it were YOU that died instead of your wife, wouldn't she suffer" NOT "what if it was your wife that died, wouldn't she suffer" (Because she actually did die). It's an important clarification otherwise there is no lesson there. Great overview none the less. I just finished the book myself and am about to making a video about searching for meaning and your video was a great little summary/refreshed as I outline for my video. Thanks!

Beautiful sentences from the video: 1. He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how 2. Suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning. 3. Everything can be taken from a man but one - The last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstance. 4. Listen what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge.
