Everyone should read at least one of Frankl's books,
By
This review is from: The Will to Meaning: Foundations and Applications of Logotherapy (Paperback)
This book and Frankl's other popular book, "Man's search for meaning" offer a great deal of overlap. Yet I fond both extrememlty interesting and helpful. Frankl posits that we all have an innate tendency to mental/spiritual health which he calls the will to meaning. This is similar to the body's hedency to heal after any physical assault. He explains that good counselling focusses the will to meaning, or removes blocks which are preventing it from being expressed. Frankl's experiences in a NAZI death camp show how focussing on personal meaning and what little freedom of choice one does have, can enable mental health to survive even under the most pathogenic of circumstances.

An Excellent Elaboration On The Basic Concepts Of Logotherapy,
By An Aspiring Clinician - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Will to Meaning: Foundations and Applications of Logotherapy (Paperback)
As several other reviewer have already mentioned, "The Will To Meaning" is basically an elaboration on the section from "Man's Search For Meaning" called "Logotherapy In A Nutshell." If "Man's Search For Meaning" made any sort of impact on you, I would highly suggest reading this book.

Thought-provoking,
By S. Kang "2co418" - Published on Amazon.com
It is always great pleasure to read Dr. Frankl's books. This was no exception. Although the Book was written many years ago, it contains many practical principles that can be used to overcome "existential vacuum", which is so rampant today. Must read book for those feeling aimless in this fragmented society.
