#2159 Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl

You can’t always choose your suffering—but you can choose your response.

Today’s book: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl—a life-changing classic born from unthinkable suffering, showing that even in the worst circumstances, we can find meaning, dignity, and purpose.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Life has meaning under all conditions. Even in a concentration camp, Frankl discovered the power of inner freedom.
  • You can’t control what happens—but you can always control your response. That’s where your true power lies.
  • Suffering ceases to be suffering when it finds meaning. Ask not “Why me?” but “What is life asking of me right now?”
  • Purpose is essential. People can endure almost anything if they have a “why” to live for.
  • Choose your attitude. Between stimulus and response is a space—and in that space is your freedom and your growth.

Meaning isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you make. What’s one way you’ll create meaning today?
