"
With more than 4 million copies in print in the English
language
alone, Man's Search for Meaning, the chilling yet
inspirational
story of Viktor Frankl's struggle to hold on to hope
during his
three years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps,
is a true
classic. Beacon Press is now pleased to present a
special gift
edition of a work that was hailed in 1959 by Carl
Rogers as"one
of the outstanding contributions to psychological
thought in the
last fifty years." Frankl's training as a psychiatrist
informed
every waking moment of his ordeal and allowed him a
remarkable perspective on the psychology of survival.
His
assertion that "the will to meaning" is the basic
motivation for
human life has forever changed the way we understand
our
humanity in the face of suffering.
