Interview with Dr Viktor Frankl III

[jivangilad]

Thanks for loading.

I read lately the book, man in search for meaning, and was moved by the truth of it.

My grandmother was a holocaust survivor, and you could see and feel the horor by just

being with her, or other survivors I met. I dont feel it that much with this man, and it is impressive.

[AmiLyn100]

This man was EPIC, superhuman indeed. He is the example of a heroic spirit.

[rohanserrao137]

"There are means than will desecrate even the most noble ends" ....

what a profound thought ..truly wise!

[qwer1234555sd]

There is no meaning in pleasure

[maize1970]

I love this man.

[ytdsgdjgfueyxn537]

Thank you very much for this upload.

[SorryBeeinLate]

Very interesting. I may not personally agree that the eschatological notion of death as an ultimate end which underlies motivation, "When, if not now", is necessary, because I don't know whether death is the end or not. Being a mystery it leaves the possibility for immortality of some kind. So I do believe a human being is capable of creating motivation not in the face of death, but in the face of love to something or everything. Still in some individuals death is of immense importance.

This what some people called Frame control as long as you control the frame of reference in your mind you are in control of a social situation

But regardless this is intriguing, more philosophy then psychology

[southsydney]

very much like Camus' Sisyphus. Embrace the Rock.

[patriciacarrasco]

awesome and from the heart and experience..

[Kellieannef]

If this was recorded in 85 in S.A., then the hard economic times were due to sanctions against Apartheid... I can hear his message of the "meta" level here.

Amazing

[yourmummademefat]

my mortal hero

[Evan97531]

Quite moving.

[serenityswan]

I love his passion for all that he says!

[mindauggas]

i was litteraly blown away ....

[catandpiddle]

just wonderful. thank you!

[mccail9]

yes we must keep thinking and maintain moral self awareness

[ipublica]

His teaching is honest and pure, and powerful. It is very important to see that for finding meaning it is NOT important to experience suffering. All is choice, and all is karma. When we suffer, we have made certain choices that might not be in total alignment with cosmic purpose, without perhaps being conscious of it ... We are programming our destiny, and most of the time unconsciously. Dr. Frankl is a very important messenger of world peace!

[santilian]

he who has a "why" to live for will bear with any "how"

[lehks]

Fantastic. What year was this from? I find it funny that as I watch this now America is once again in recession.

[santilian]

what do you mean?

[lehks]

what do you mean what do I mena

[yoshiebe]

i believe santilian is wondering how you are relating being able to find meaning in despair to the recession.

[lehks]

well then, the thought was mostly prompted by the question the interviewer asked at 7:23. not much more to it... it just sounds like the same situation, almost, as today

[yoshiebe]

yeah i think santilian asked you what you meant before he/she reached that part of the interview. im sure they got it.

[iqgirha]

Recorded in South Africa in 1985!

[collapseofthedollar]

holy shit!

[kluetenkloeter]

Oy vey - vot nice Enklish!

[Add1basket]

szar

[spc1029]

modern psychiatry is influenced to much by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex. They should just listen to Frankl.

[asmodeus585]

I agree with you completely. Probably by modern standards they would view him as "insane" because he promoted self-awareness instead of pharmacotheraphy.

[mrkarlpilkington]

When I heard Dr Frankl in this interview I could finally and confidently say that Sigmund Freud was wrong and had probably done too much cocaine.

[monsterjazzlicks]

Very invigorating and stimulating ideas.

[deny1113]

Awesome ! Dr. V. E. Frankl is great personality and one of the best psychologists of last century.

[bamatommy]

Dr. Frankl is a hero to me. He was a great man, a credit to the human race.

[wsmith68]

I credit Dr Frankl with saving me from suicide and re-examining my world-view.

I also hold him as a great hero.

A very intelligent humanist and man I consider a brother, introduced me to "Man's Search for Meaning".

I, in turn, gave the book to a nihilist friend with a methamphetamine addiction.

He was saved from self-destruction. An uneducated, but very smart man, this friend also got a date with an attractive psychologist by dropping Frankl's name in conversation at a bar... lol

[musclesman505]

I can relate to your story. I too was suicidal and it was because of my own addiction to drugs and alcohol. At the end of my rope after yet another relapse and bottom, i chanced upon Frankl's book and my life has never been the same. I truly believe he saved my life

[DagnySamrock]

@wsmith68

Bless you.

[egrosz]

There were three Viennese Schools of Psychotherapy in that time one founded by S.Freud,[The psychoanalysis]another by Alfred Adler[the individual psychology] ,the third by  Viktor Frankl[The logotherapy-existential analysis].Freud and Adler,both emigrated from Germany under Nazi regim,Freud's books were burned,V.Frankl were deporteted in concentration camp and had survived .

[egrosz]

A Great humanist and medic..all his life was dedicated to help people...How many people like him was exterminated in concentration camps...for the only reason that they was JEWS....Why????????????????/

[wsmith68]

Why the holocaust?

Hitler. Hitler used a minority as scapegoat.

Why Hitler?

The Treaty of Versailles.

Why the treaty?

WWI.

Why WWI?

Greedy, inept competetitors of German industry.

Monied oligarchies always play the people with nationalism, terror and xenophobia.

[74u73hjd]

People often get brainwashed by a jabbering lunatic just look at palestinian suicide bombers!! Stupid poeple who don't know how to choose and just follow!!

[wsmith68]

Yeah, that happened in Amerika 5 years ago.
