This is a man who survived Nazi concentration camps and found a way to come out of it without being demoralized. Dr. Frankl learned to put his life's work to the test by finding a way to transcend suffering and find meaning in life, even while living an intolerable existence. While living in the camps he taught others to use this mental toolbox to survive in more positive state of mind also. The theory exercised a tremendous influence on the entire field of phsychiatry and psychology.
