Man's Search for Meaning | Viktor Frankl

 
 
 
Book
 

Why it is included:

The ultimate proof of human freedom. Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, argues that humans are driven not by pleasure or power, but by Meaning.

He defines the "last of the human freedoms"—the ability to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.

It anchors the entire library in Responsibility.

It reminds the leader that even if the world collapses around them, they retain the sovereign power to create meaning and serve others.
