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

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

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.

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

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

There is no meaning in pleasure

Thank you very much for this upload.

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

very much like Camus' Sisyphus. Embrace the Rock.
