Viktor Frankl
Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, best known for founding the psychological approach called logotherapy. Born on March 26, 1905, he survived the Holocaust and spent time in several concentration camps during World War II, including Auschwitz. His experiences in these camps profoundly influenced his views on the meaning of life and human resilience.
Frankl authored the influential book, Man's Search for Meaning, where he explored how finding purpose can help individuals endure suffering. He emphasized that even in the most challenging circumstances, people can discover meaning through love, work, and suffering, shaping his legacy in psychology and philosophy.
