Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor, and the founder of logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that emphasizes the search for meaning as the central force in human life. Born in 1905, Frankl endured years in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, experiences that profoundly shaped his philosophy and writing. His groundbreaking book Man's Search for Meaning has inspired millions of readers worldwide with its message of hope, resilience, and purpose. Through his work, Frankl remains one of the most influential thinkers in psychology and existential philosophy.
