    Frankl is the sacrifice who plunged into hell to bring us light on who we are! I’m lucky to get these lessons at no cost where others have paid with life!

    Frankl’s teachings helped save my life. He is a true hero. Thank you for sharing his work.
  • The explanation of the theme help us know that when we are suffering, we don't need to seek pleasure in order for us to gain back what we had loss from our suffering but to follow our conscience alone. I'm glad I bought the book because it teaches us alot about Viktor Frankl and how he manage to control his despair for life and used a psychological treatment know as logo therapy to help anyone who has been in the same position of consciousness.

    I watched many videos on people trying to break down this book...I like your version...your pace and voice (so soothing) played a huge part...thank you

    Respect to this profound wisdom - what greater test than that undergone by Viktor Frankl himself - so he did not fall into hatred and seek revenge, or become manically greedy, say, after experiencing starvation and disempowerment... so beautiful and inspirational and a great testament to the goodness of his parents who nurtured his consciousness in childhood.

    A very practical and hopeful philosophy. I've always loved Frankl's book and have read it many times. Thank you for your succinct and clear presentation!
  • @FBrapidreview
    Just finished reading this book. The connection of state of mind with state of immunity explained in the book is amazing. Good read.
  • @EwingAmaterasu
    I think Frankl is a theist existentialist, in the sense that he accepts the literal meaning in life through actions and experiences, and also accepts possibility of a trascendental meaning. Atheist existentialists would include Cioran, Sartre and Camus, who saw no real meaning in life, or thought that you created your own meaning. Frankl didn't believed that you created your meaning, but that you discovered it. That is why I would put Frankl in the line of Tolstoy, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevski and Chestov. It could be called trascendental existencialitsm.

    Thank you for making this video. I've read the book Mans Search for Meaning multiple times, and each time I learn something new. Your breakdown of the philosophy helped me understand and question even more about what meaning can be. Good job!

    A wonderful, comprehensive summary of the book. Thank you for this. I don't think I've commented on a YouTube video in years. Please keep what you're doing.
  • @MikejSackey
    Thanks for sharing, I purchased this book at a used book store for $1.50 what a great read! The meaning of life for me is to “ be kind to the kind & to be kind to the unkind “ & to serve and help others with love. Namaste
