‘An enduring work of survival literature’ New York Times

‘Viktor Frankl gives us the gift of looking at everything in life as an opportunity’ Edith Eger, Holocaust survivor and bestselling author of The Choice

In 1942, Viktor Frankl, a Viennese psychiatrist, was deported with his family to concentration camps, including Auschwitz. Amid unimaginable suffering, Frankl came to understand that even when everything else is taken from us, one fundamental freedom remains: the freedom to choose how we respond.

From his experiences came a profound belief: that our deepest human need is to find meaning and purpose – and that even in the darkest circumstances, we can find meaning in how we choose to live.

One of the seminal works to emerge from the Second World War, Man’s Search for Meaning is a powerful and inspiring exploration of suffering, hope and what it means to live a meaningful life.
