Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" explores the author's experiences as a concentration camp inmate and identifies his theory that a search for ultimate meaning can help overcome even the most harrowing of circumstances. The book argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.
I was thinking about the uh Victor Frankle quote that was I guess gets used an awful lot. When a man can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
""The book "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl is mentioned directly in the context of finding meaning in life versus seeking pleasure, a central theme of the discussion around depression and high functioning individuals."
