Long description:
Find hope even in these dark times with this rediscovered masterpiece, a companion to his international bestseller Man s Search for Meaning.
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 the world faces a coronavirus pandemic, social isolation, and great economic uncertainty as they did in 1946. He offers an insightful exploration of the maxim Live as if you were living for the second time, and he unfolds his basic conviction that every crisis contains opportunity. Despite the unspeakable horrors of the camps, Frankl learned from the strength of his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say yes to life a profound and timeless lesson for us all.
This slim, powerful collection from Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Frankl (Man s Search for Meaning) attests to life s meaning, even in desperate circumstances...This lovely work transcends its original context, offering wisdom and guidance.
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
The case studies are relatable and the overall viewpoint convincing. More than 70 years later, Frankl s philosophy still inspires.
Kirkus Reviews
Frankl s ideas bear particular consideration right now.
Washington Post
Yes to Life is a provocative invitation to think about what you believe and what you can do to get through tough times. Its brevity invites you to linger on phrases or re-read pages that interest you. In your pursuit of providing compassionate care under trying conditions, you may find just what you need in a phrase, an insight, or this poem by Rabindranath Tagore: I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was duty. I worked and behold. Duty was joy.
