About the Author
Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor whose profound insights into human resilience and meaning-making have left an indelible mark on psychology and philosophy. Born in Vienna, Frankl endured the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Dachau, experiences that profoundly shaped his therapeutic approach known as logotherapy, which emphasizes finding purpose even in suffering. As a prolific writer and lecturer, he founded the third Viennese school of psychotherapy, influencing countless lives through his teachings on the will to meaning. Frankl's work continues to inspire readers worldwide, offering hope and guidance in navigating life's deepest challenges, as detailed in his poignant autobiography Recollections: An Autobiography.
