In this classic book, Pattakos and Dundon draw upon the entire body of Frankl's work to identify seven core principles that help readers find meaning in even the most challenging moments of their lives. The most well-known principle is the freedom to choose our attitude and response to any circumstance if we can master this, we will not be prisoners of our thoughts
The third edition includes three new chapters with specific advice on how to put meaning at the core of our lives, work, and society, drawing on the pioneering work the authors are doing at the Global Meaning Institute. And a new concluding chapter illustrates how Frankl's legacy continues to influence so many around the world.
