### In a world that often tells us happiness comes from power, success, or pleasure, many still find themselves asking a deeper question: What makes life worth living? In Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl offers a strikingly different answer. Writing from his experience surviving Nazi concentration camps, Frankl suggests that what sustains us is not what we gain or control, but the meaning we choose to live for.This conversation will explore Frankl’s insight that the will to meaning is the most enduring human drive: one that remains available even in suffering, loss, and uncertainty. Together, we’ll reflect on how meaning, rather than power or pleasure, provides a more stable foundation for resilience, purpose, and hope in our personal lives and in our shared world.
