Man and the Search for Meaning
Self-Transcendence as a Human Phenomenon
A unique philosophical and psychological masterpiece in the fields of psychotherapy and existential analysis, in which psychiatrist Viktor Frankl presents the concept of "self-transcendence" and the necessity of finding meaning in human existence as a fundamental key to psychological resilience and recovery from pain and suffering.
About this book
In this seminal psychological text, Dr. Viktor E. Frankl expands on his revolutionary system of Logotherapy, focusing on self-transcendence as an essential human phenomenon. Frankl posits that human fulfillment is not achieved through self-actualization alone, but by looking beyond oneself toward a purpose, a cause, or another person. Addressing existential vacuum, anxiety, and suffering, the book demonstrates that meaning can be discovered in every circumstance—even in unavoidable pain. It provides a timeless blueprint for psychological resilience, illustrating that a clear "why" allows individuals to bear almost any "how."
Why read it?
It delivers a transformative perspective on human resilience and suffering, offering actionable psychological tools to conquer existential angst and discover enduring purpose in daily life.
Who is it for?
Those interested in psychology, philosophy, and existential analysis; psychologists and counselors; and anyone undergoing a period of self-discovery or psychological turmoil while seeking deeper meaning and value in their life.
