Viktor Frankl
Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who developed logotherapy, a form of existential therapy that emphasizes the importance of finding meaning in life, even in the face of suffering. His experiences as a Holocaust survivor profoundly shaped his views, leading him to conclude that the key to survival and inner strength lies in the ability to find purpose amidst adversity. Frankl's seminal work, 'Man's Search for Meaning,' emphasizes that happiness is a byproduct of a meaningful life, and he provided a framework for individuals to discover their own sense of purpose through work, love, and the ability to confront suffering.
Born on Mar 26, 1905 (120 years old)
