PNTV: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl (#7)

[@wisdom-for-life]

Great review as always, Brian. My 3 big takeaways from the book: 1 - Find meaning in suffering and in your life. 2 - You always have a choice in how you respond to any situation (so powerful) 3 - You can't chase happiness and success - they must ensue - they are a byproduct of you chasing your passion/purpose/etc. I really like the idea of chasing what your consciousness commands you to do!

[@HeroicBrian]

Nice takeaways!! :) Thanks for your note! Have a great day! Zak | Team Optimize Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me

Brian, Dr. Frankl was a guest lecturer in my graduate class on Existentialism at the University of Minnesota in 1963. His presentation was very unique. His loss is keenly felt by many.

This book stopped me gambling. Ty sir Mr. Frankl

Actually not Frankl but Nietzsche: “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

Brian, such a nice review, thanks, I love the part when you talk about being pro-active, we have a tendency to define ourselves in opposition to stuff. But try to express also your passion for things you love. Be demonstrative and generous in your praise of those you admire. Be pro-stuff, not just anti-stuff.

[@HeroicBrian]

Gostriker Disaster Yes!!

[@mouminysidibe3875]

Thank you so much Brian for sharing these wonderful books with us . I suggest you to read also " feel the fear and do it anyway " by Susan Jeffers if you have not read it yet . Thank you , God bless you and your family .

[@Pikoro09]

Hi, i enjoy very much you notes! But I have a question... in another video you uploaded, you recomended to set goals, to have a goal means to think about future achivements and hold in mind what we are looking for. How we supose to have goals if success will only manifest if we forget about it? THX!

[@sijimathew9982]

Great review that's one of my favorite books too!! ... the thing is that I'm still missing the target.. I can't find my true pourpose in life so I can give my self to it...

[@hozanadnan247]

hi can i get your notes about that book ?

[@summer3213]

Hello Brian Johnson, Base on the Maslow's Hierarchy of Need, what is Viktor Frankl's mental hygiene/wellness and levels of self-actualization during and after his ordeal in Auschwitz? What do you think with applying Rogers' Self Theory or Ellis' Cognitive- Behavioral Theory?

[@HeroicBrian]

summer3213 I'd put Frankl at the self-transcended level (beyond self-actualization). He's one of the most inspiring, actualized humans. And, I love Ellis. Cognitive-Behavioral theory and therapy rocks. brianjohnson.me/philosophers-notes/a-guide-to-rational-living/

[@summer3213]

Thank you~

[@azizaben7863]

4:11 can anyone here explain it more Pls. thank you

[@Shorts4orShort]

Aziza Ben Everyone has a purpose and the potential to become whatever lies ahead of them. There is a higher potential that we need to tap into or find in order to feel complete or that we have meaning that’s not pointless to what our psych wants to adhere to.

[@itsmylife8639]

Thanks Brian, great review. I hope someday they make a movie of this book...

[@HeroicBrian]

Saurabh Banerjee That would be extraordinary! Have you seen this documentary? www.viktorandimovie.com/

[@itsmylife8639]

***** Hey, thanks man... No, I have not seen this. I don't think they ship it to India. I will ask my colleagues to buy this for me when they come from US.

[@HeroicBrian]

Awesome! :)

Well relativism can reach to the level of incoherence; I don't know if that's what you're trying to say.

Try again. You managed to turn a complex set of ideas into a pablum of self-help burbling.
