Book Description
Frankl's timeless memoir and meditation on finding meaning in the midst of suffering With a new Foreword by Harold S. Kushner and a new Biographical Afterword by William J. Winslade Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America. Beacon Press, the original English-language publisher of Man's Search for Meaning, is issuing this new paperback edition with a new Foreword, biographical Afterword, jacket, price, and classroom materials to reach new generations of readers.

用户评论
可能得读纸质书才能有更多的震撼。人生的意义对每个人都不一样，所以追寻人生的意义就是一个太宽泛的概念和行为了。
作为一年轻追求意义b哥，读这书感觉从环境决定思维到态度决定一切，最后全篇幅态度决定一切。也许太深邃的东西肤浅的人啊总是无法参透，能参透了的又常常容易被当做老生常谈而忽略。
即便是在极度困苦和悲催，也还是可以追求人生的意义。单纯的快乐是飘渺的，你需要找到快乐的理由。不管处在怎样绝望的境地，也不要失去了欣赏美的能力。
作者的理论太经不起推敲了.
所谓“知我者谓我心忧，不知我者伪我何求”；所谓“所有的相遇都是久别重逢”；所谓“拍案而起”“泪如泉涌”
作者天生具有慈悲心。我的人生也曾一度被虚无主义主导了许多年，最近几年才意识到在outer world里面寻求inner satisfaction终将是一无所获。
"For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best. So, let us be alert--alert in a twofold sense. Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of. And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake."
听完这本书的雨夜，俄乌宣布开战。
以前看的，补标注。意义疗法创始人，印象最深的画面是某天他在集中营外出劳作修屋顶时看到远处的天边幻想的场景：妻子在温馨的家里。然后笔锋一转，说现实可能是妻子和家人都已经不在了，但是这样的画面却可以永远保留在脑海里，有点类似paralleled life或者伴随幻想生活，也就是所谓的精神支柱。意义疗法还有一点很难让人不欣赏（虽然不好证伪，也比较像需求层次理论的另一种表述），那就是适度的痛苦是人性必须的养分，尤其是那种要表达自我、创造自我的紧张。如果没有这种紧张感，如果没有克服这样的紧张感，没有经历这种痛苦完成心中想完成的事情，人就会陷入更大的无意义的痛苦。但是因为作者本人可以在集中营里活下来的各种幸运，他有充分理由坚信自己的哲学，但我不确定其他没有他这么幸运的人是否可以也有这样的自信去做到。
emo的时刻，二刷。
