Who is Viktor Frankl?
He was the brilliant successor to Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler as the spiritual head of the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy. Viktor wrote about thirty books about Logotherapy, the most successful of which was MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING which was read by about thirty million men and women in thirty-four languages. But while Freud thought the avoidance of pain and the search for pleasure and Adler considered the yearning for potency and power basic of human motivation, Frankl learned that the need for meaning and a sense of purpose was most important to we humans.
