Viktor Frankl

Psychiatrist, Holocaust Survivor

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist, neurologist, and Holocaust survivor who founded logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy centred on finding meaning in life. His landmark memoir Man's Search for Meaning chronicled his experiences in Nazi concentration camps and articulated his belief that meaning can be found even in the most extreme suffering. His work has influenced generations of psychologists, philosophers, and readers worldwide.

Meditations

by Marcus Aurelius

star4.6

Aurelius wrote these private meditations as reminders to himself - on duty, impermanence, and rational self-governance. The result is Stoicism at its most intimate: a Roman emperor's nightly practice of keeping perspective.
