This event is perfect for both seasoned readers and newcomers looking to engage in stimulating conversations about the human quest for purpose and meaning.

About the Book:
*Man's Search for Meaning* is a powerful narrative that combines Viktor Frankl's experiences as a Holocaust survivor with his insights as a psychiatrist. The book delves into the depths of human suffering and resilience, presenting a compelling case for finding meaning in life's most challenging moments. Frankl's logotherapy, a form of existential analysis, offers a unique perspective on how individuals can transcend their circumstances and discover purpose.

Discussion Points:

  • Experiences in the Concentration Camps: How did Frankl's experiences shape his views on suffering and meaning? What can we learn from his resilience and perspective?
  • Logotherapy: What are the key principles of logotherapy? How does this approach differ from other psychological theories?
  • Finding Meaning: How can we apply Frankl's ideas about finding meaning in our own lives? What role does purpose play in overcoming adversity?

  • Personal Reflections: How has *Man's Search for Meaning* influenced your understanding of purpose and meaning? Have you experienced moments where you found meaning in difficult situations?
