Viktor Frankl
Found meaning as the will to live.
Founder of logotherapy and a Holocaust survivor, who taught that the search for meaning is our deepest motivation.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
Who they were
Viktor Frankl survived the concentration camps and emerged with a conviction forged in the worst of circumstances: that human beings can endure almost anything if they have a why. His logotherapy holds that meaning — not pleasure or power — is our primary drive, and that we keep the freedom to choose our attitude even when everything else is taken.
