Viktor Frankl on Freedom

In Man’s Search for Meaning, the neurologist and psychiatrist Victor Frankl  wrote about his experience as a concentration camp inmate during the Second World War.

Frankl’s theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (“meaning”)-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

Complement it with The Human Search for Meaning. Frankl saw three possible sources for meaning.
