Story4.5 out of 5 stars 359
Eleven months after he was liberated from the Nazi concentration camps, Viktor E. Frankl held a series of public lectures in Vienna. The psychiatrist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity. Published here for the very first time in English, 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".

Born in 1905 in the center of the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire, Viktor Frankl was a witness to the great political, philosophical, and scientific upheavals of the 20th century. In these stirring recollections, Frankl describes how as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna, his disagreements with Freud and Adler led to the development of "the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy", known as logotherapy; recounts his harrowing trials in four concentration camps during the War; and reflects on the celebrity brought by Man's Search for Meaning in 1945.

The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement and father of client-centered therapy, based his life's work on his fundamental belief in the human potential for growth. A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a prophetic call for a more humane future.

In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?

Unconscious Religiousness and the Ultimate Meaning
Victor Emil Frankl was one of the greatest psychiatrist and neurologist of XX century. He was Holocaust survivor - prisoner of concentrations camps, including Auschwitz. The book: "Men's Search for Ultimate Meaning" is his last book, for some it is a sequel to "Men's Search for Meaning" but it is rather his "credo" - and is based on his Ph.D. dissertation.
The book's main theme is the refutation of reductionism approach to human mind. In simple words he shows us that the human mind is a unique, irreductible phenomenon.
The ultimate force that drives human person, is according to Frankl, is its search for meaning, which in fact is a search of ultimate meaning, i.e. the search for transcendence.
The book has some great passages and amazing chapters. In one of them: "Unconscious Religiousness" Frankl shows how modern psychoanalysis (existential analysis) reveals the level of human mind - where the unconscious presence of transcendence becomes predominant...
There are also great passages about human love, freedom and responsibility.
He devotes a large part of the book to the problem of "existential vacuum" - the feeling of meaninglessness, that dominates our culture.
Across the book there is a lot of references to love and to its unique importance in human life. His words are stunning expression of the effort to humanize the sexual part of our life. Once we understand, that the sexual life is not a goal in itself (as it exists in modern culture), and that it is ultimate mean to be with, to know your partner - there is no longer any problem with pornography, debauchery, untruthfulness, prostitution and all other plagues related to the intimate sphere of our lives...

excellent book, read too speedily
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the book, but not this audio version, as the material, though clearly read, was read too speedily. The depth of the subject matter would have benefited from a slower pace.
What did you like best about this story?
Frankel's analysis, insight and clarity is nothing short of outstanding.
What aspect of Grover Gardner’s performance would you have changed?
The book was clearly read, and Gardner's reading certainly demonstrated his comprehension of, and perhaps affinity for, the subject. The reading was so speedy, however, I felt as if he was given a time limit in which he needed to complete the reading. Subject matters such as this require a bit of give and take in the reading speed to allow the mind to encounter, process and engage large concepts.

Absoulutely. This is a book that requires more than listen to gain the full meaning of Frankl's ideas.
What did you like best about this story?
Their is no story per se, but the best thing about this book is the idea of being able to choose your response. This is great for all of mankind.
Which character – as performed by Grover Gardner – was your favorite?
Gardner gets across the tone of Frankl very well.
If you could give Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning a new subtitle, what would it be?

Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning
Excellent book; very well read. This short book is a compact narrative of Viktor Frankel's insights into how humans derive meaning and the importance of the journey. His writing is highly accessible, using a storyteller's approach to succinctly convey the main points. Although short, it is a dynamic book that one can enjoy listening to many times, and each time deriving some new insights into Frankel's philosophy and ideas about psychology. This is also a good book for those who may have heard of existential psychology but thought it was too dense for them to understand. The narrator clearly has an affinity for this material; his expressive reading style contributes to the listener's understanding. For those who have read the book, as I have, I recommend the audio for an understanding of Frankel's work at the heart level.

Do not waste your time with this book.
Stick to man's search for meaning, and spend your time on something else.
This is probably the worst book I have ever read, it jumps between science and pseudoscience and especially the first part of the book is infuriating. This makes it really hard for the reader to take something good from the book's last half.
I was looking forward to this book after reading "man's search for meaning" but this book have disappointed me so much that I doubt that I ever will read Viktor E. Frankl again. It has completely shattered my confidence in Viktor Frankl.
I just hope that this book do not harm a faithful non critical reader, since the book makes it hard to distinguish science from pseudoscience, and I do not trust myself to take much from this book.
I hope that you will take my advice and read something else, if not I can only say "I told you so" when your are 2 hours in.
At that point I would finish it, cause Viktor some how nearly redeem himself in the last half, even though it will not sweeten the bitter taste in your mouth left from the first half.
I am sorry but this is the first book that I have ever read that I will actively discourage people from reading.
I have read books that I found dull or odd, books that I would not recommend, but this is the first that I will advise against reading.

Insightful!
Hard to follow at times due to its technical nature if one does not have the industrial and technical background.
