Solo i «consumatori» della cultura — scrisse Gabriel Marcel nella prefazione all'edizione francese — potrebbero scambiare questo libro per un'ulteriore e ormai tardiva testimonianza sui campi di concentramento. C'è molto di più: avendo vissuto personalmente l'estrema abiezione dei Lager, l'autore insegna che se vivere è sofferenza, sopravvivere è trovare il senso di questa sofferenza. È questa l'esperienza che lo condusse alla scoperta della logoterapia, il trattamento psicoterapeutico che l'ha reso famoso in tutto il mondo. Frankl, credente e ottimista, che a sedici anni interessò Freud, il quale ne pubblicò un saggio sul Giornale internazionale di psicanalisi, con olfatto sano annusa il senso della vita anche là dove lo si nega, e invita a vincere nell'oggi, insieme con il relativismo ideologico assolutista, che è stato il «male del secolo XX», ogni cieco determinismo scientifico-naturale, difendendo la libertà umana in una splendida fenomenologia dell'amore. Di una felicità narrativa quasi insospettabile in uno psichiatra, il libro è stato tradotto in tutto il mondo (oltre 10 milioni di copie vendute) ed è stato dichiarato per quattro volte libro dell'anno dalle università degli Stati Uniti.

Work Description
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl 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. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
