Today you will hear a poignant yet bittersweet reading of one of the most bestselling books of all time, Viktor Frankl’s "Man’s Search For Meaning", written in 1946 after the second world war. This blurb was written by readinggraphics.com. Renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl survived the Nazi death camps as a prisoner. His years of suffering, experiences and insights led him to develop logotherapy, a branch of psychology built on the belief that humans are primarily driven by meaning. In this book, he chronicled his camp experiences and how logotherapy can be used to help people overcome anxiety and find happiness and fulfillment in life. In a concentration camp, all meaning and life goals are stripped away. When left with nothing but the skin on their backs, why do some prisoners persevere and survive while others collapse or give up? Viktor Frankl believed that man’s search for meaning is a powerful driving force that allows mankind to overcome extreme odds and achieve extraordinary feats. His experience in the concentration camps reinforced his beliefs and inspired him to develop logotherapy. Doing justice to the profound eloquence of Dr Frankl is the mesmerizingly regal voice of Jong Merida.
