#10: Books That Changed or Touched Our Lives - "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankl.
YayCanDoShow Notes
"Man's Search for Meaning" is the autobiographical description of the harrowing existence of prisoners who were imprisoned and tortured in concentration camps throughout world war two.
In the face of this extreme suffering, the author of this book, Viktor Frankl, realised the importance of choosing a mindset that allowed him to focus on his life's work and the love of his life in order to find meaning and survive.
His book describes how, for each of us, our "search for meaning" is the primary motivation in our lives.
Bernie and Paula today discuss this idea as a key concept that is truly a "YayCanDo" belief, and that we can each take responsibility for our experience of life by choosing a clear purpose and creating meaning for ourselves throughout our lives.
As humanity seemingly rocks from one crisis to another, "Man's Search for Meaning" offers us some beautiful ideas and inspiration that life is still full of possibility, no matter how challenging it may seem at times.
