This is a review of Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Frankl combines Holocaust survival experience with psychiatric expertise to explore meaning-making as humanity's primary drive. He argues meaning emerges through creating value, experiencing love and beauty, and choosing responses to unavoidable suffering. Drawing from concentration camp observations, he demonstrates how purpose transcends circumstances, challenging pleasure and power as primary motivations. His logotherapy approach emphasizes finding significance through serving something larger than self-interest. While profound for understanding resilience and meaning-making, the work requires careful application to avoid victim-blaming. Best for those seeking deeper purpose rather than immediate practical solutions. Independent, unaffiliated—informational only, not a substitute for the book.
