Clear. Concise. Meaningful. A well-crafted introduction to the person of Victor Fankl, the philosophy of Will to Meaning, and the power of logotherapy. Illustrates the fragility of Will to Pleasure (Freud) and Will to Power (Neitschze) when confronted with the negative aspects of life. Proves a more resilient framework when dealing with the tragic triad (pain, guilt, death) than Freud and Neitschze, allowing one to side-step the common responses of depression, aggression, and addiction and instead choose hope. Distills Frankl's message into relatable conceptual chunks. A wonderful introduction to his work.
