Publisher's Summary
Extraordinary uncovered work by the 16 million copy best-selling author of Man’s Search For Meaning.
Eleven months after his liberation from Auschwitz, Viktor E. Frankl held a series of public lectures in Vienna. The psychologist, who was to become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity.
Published for the very first time, Frankl’s words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. He offers an insightful exploration of the maxim ‘live as if you were living for the second time’ and unfolds his basic conviction that every crisis also includes an opportunity. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say 'yes to life' - a profound and timeless lesson for us all.

This book is invaluable to humanity.
This book has had a profound impact on my perspective and God willing my life. Don’t live this life without experiencing the thoughts and insights of Frankl

A short narrative of great depth
I found myself wanting more of this wisdom. This short series of lectures delivered only 9 months after Victor E Frankl ‘s liberation from Buchenwald, is a master class in existential humanism.He was still making sense of his horrendous experience, but conveys how humans may manage to endure terrible suffering. He who has why to live can endure almost any how.

Profound Vantage point
it was so illuminating to hear Frankls philosophy of life and worth after all he's seen and experienced in the concentration camp. in particular, his view that people have worth beyond their ability to work was refreshing.

a closer look
This book gives more of an insight into Frankl's experiences in the death camps. It is more personal in some respects and less clinical than man's search for meaning. Loved it.

posthumously published work by Viktor E. Frankl
"Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything" is a posthumously published work by Viktor E. Frankl, a renowned psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. Drawing on his experiences in Nazi concentration camps and his existentialist philosophy, Frankl explores the human capacity to find meaning and purpose in the face of suffering. The book emphasizes the power of choice and resilience, asserting that even in the most challenging circumstances, individuals can choose their attitude towards suffering and find meaning in their lives. Frankl argues that by embracing a positive attitude and cultivating inner strength, individuals can transcend their circumstances and affirm their commitment to life. "Yes to Life" serves as a poignant and inspirational reflection on the human spirit's ability to endure and find meaning, offering valuable insights into the pursuit of a purposeful and fulfilling life.
