It’s made up of four distinct pieces from Frankl on different themes - all uniting around the idea that we should remain open to life even when we have been subjected to appalling injustice, and even when we are faced with our own mortality and the brief nature of our lives. At a time of global suffering where so many are searching for hope and meaning, Frankl’s work seems more relevant and more important than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you're a devoted follower of Frankl's work or a newcomer seeking to enrich your understanding of life's purpose, this book promises a captivating journey that will leave you pondering its teachings long after you've turned the final page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJust imagine what would happen, what life would look like, if there were no death. Imagine what it would be like if you could postpone anything and everything, if you could put it off for eternity. You wouldn't have to do anything today or tomorrow. Everything could just as easily be done next week, next month, next year, in a decade, in 100 or 1,000 years. Only in the face of death, only under pressure from the finiteness, the temporal limitation of human existence, is there any point in going about our business, and not only in going about our business, but in experiencing life, and not only in experiencing life but also in loving someone, and even in enduring and surviving something that is inflicted on us.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword by Alexander Vesely-Frankl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction by Dr. Tobias Esch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote from the Publisher\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eONE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeaning and Responsibility in the Face of Transience\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConquering Transience\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTWO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWays of Finding Meaning\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMan Alive—Viktor Frankl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHREE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Crisis of Meaning and the Zeitgeist\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCollective Neuroses\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFOUR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreedom and Responsibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eExistential Analysis and the Problems of Our Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Viktor E.
