What gives life meaning when things don't turn out the way we hoped?
In this episode of This Makes Sense, I explore the extraordinary life of Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor and author of Man's Search for Meaning.
We look beyond his famous quotes to understand the man, his experiences, his philosophy and why his ideas still matter today.
From relationships and grief to mental health, personal growth and finding purpose in everyday life, we explore what Frankl can teach us about living meaningfully without pretending that suffering is necessary or that every difficult experience needs a positive lesson.
It's not about having all the answers. Sometimes it's simply about discovering what matters to us, right where we are.
Books referenced:
These books provide further reading on Frankl's ideas; Man's Search for Meaning is the main book discussed in the episode.
Thanks for listening. I hope this makes sense.
