Man's Search for Meaning
By Viktor E. FranklThis is a work by the great Viennese, who endured years of unspeakable horror in Nazi death camps.
The following quotes from the short book conveys what the man's search for meaning means.
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
What is really needed is a fundamental change in our attitude toward life. It does not matter what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us. We need to stop asking the meaning of life, and instead think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life. – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in thought and meditation but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answers to its problems and to fulfill the tasks it constantly sets for each individual.
We can discover meaning to life in 3 different ways:
1. By creating a work or doing a deed
2. By experiencing something or encountering someone
3. By the attitude we take towards unavoidable suffering
