Luis Felipe Sáenz: I was not aware of the existence of this classic, but after listening to CNN’s anchor Anderson Cooper recommending it to gain perspective during the 2020 pandemic, I couldn’t help myself and bought a copy with rare pictures and additional speeches by Viktor Frankl.

The book has two parts and they complement each other well. The first part evolves around Frank’s experience during the Holocaust. During his studies of Logotherapy – the area that seeks to understand the meaning of life in relation to the future – Viktor Frankl was sent to a concentration camp with a manuscript of his book.

However, according to Frankl, one can be stripped of everything but there is one thing that they cannot be stripped of, and that is the freedom to choose how we react to our sufferings. Hence, he introduces to us Logotherapy where as opposed to other philosophers’ perception on handling sufferings, Frankl uses the will to meaning. Finding meaning to this life and finding meaning to even our sufferings. Because once we find its meaning it ceases to be a suffering as we know its purpose already.
