The bestselling Holocaust memoir about finding purpose and strength in times of despair—selected as a Library of Congress “10 Most Influential Books in America”

This stunning gift edition of “one of the great books of our time” (Harold S. Kushner) features photos, end papers, and Frankl’s never-before-published speeches and letters.

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how” is the central theme in Man's Search For Meaning.

Hailed as “an enduring work of survival literature” by the New York Times, Viktor Frankl’s account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps—and his insights into our ability to find meaning despite great adversity—has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. This stunning hardcover gift edition features previously unpublished material—including letters, speeches, essays, and an 8-page photo insert—that reveal Frankl’s enduring lessons on perseverance and strength in even greater depth.

At the heart of Frankl’s theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for “meaning”) is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl’s classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.

With more than 16 million copies sold in over 50 languages, this timeless masterpiece is “one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought” (Carl Rogers) and offers inspiration for coping with suffering and finding your purpose.

One of the ten most influential books in America. --Library of Congress/Book-of-the-Month Club Survey of Lifetime Readers

An enduring work of survival literature. --The New York Times

[Man's Search for Meaning] might well be prescribed for everyone who would understand our time. --Journal of Individual Psychology

An inspiring document of an amazing man who was able to garner some good from an experience so abysmally bad... Highly recommended. --Library Journal

"This is a book I try to read every couple of years. It's one of the most inspirational books ever written. What is the meaning of life? What do you have when you think you have nothing? Amazing and heartbreaking stories. This is a book that should be in everyone's library."
--Jimmy Fallon

--Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360/CNN

Viktor Frankl's timeless formula for survival. One of the classic psychiatric texts of our time, Man's Search for Meaning is a meditation on the irreducible gift of one's own counsel in the face of great suffering, as well as a reminder of the responsibility each of us owes in valuing the community of our humanity. There are few wiser, kinder, or more comforting challenges than Frankl's. --Patricia J. Williams, author of Seeing a Color-Blind Future: The Paradox of Race

Dr. Frankl's words have a profoundly honest ring, for they rest on experiences too deep for deception... A gem of a dramatic narrative, focused upon the deepest of human problems. --Gordon W. Allport, from the Preface

One of the great books of our time. --Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

One of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years. --Carl R. Rogers (1959)
