This timely book expands on Viktor Frankl’s seminal Man’s Search for Meaning, examining the book’s concepts in depth and widening the market for them by introducing an entirely new way to look at work and the workplace. Alex Pattakos, a former colleague of Frankl’s, brings the search for meaning at work within the grasp of every reader using simple, straightforward language. The author distills Frankl’s ideas into seven core principles: Exercise the freedom to choose your attitude; Realize your will to meaning; Detect the meaning of life’s moments; Don’t work against yourself; Look at yourself from a distance; Shift your focus of attention; and Extend beyond yourself. By demonstrating how Dr. Frankl's key principles can be applied to all kinds of work situations, Prisoners of Our Thoughts opens up new opportunities for finding personal meaning and living an authentic work life.

In the stirring recollections and reflections presented in this autobiographical volume, the author, for the first time, describes his childhood and youth, as well as his experiences as a young doctor of neurology in prewar Vienna. Dr. Frankl recalls his early disagreements with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, and considers the impact of these disputes on the development of Logotherapy, deemed the "third Viennese School of Psycotherapy." Toward the end of World War II, Frankl was arrested and deported, as was his entire family. The description of his harrowing experiences in four concentration camps, including Dachau and Auschwitz, is of unforgettable intensity and interest. After his liberation by American troops in 1945, Frankl returned to Vienna to discover that none of his family had survived. Slowly and painfully, he started to build a new life. In the postwar years, Frankl's philosophical and psychological ideas caught the attention of a worldwide public. On numerous lecture tours throughout the world, he met some of the most famous figures of our time - Pope Paul VI, First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, philosopher Martin Heidegger - Dr. Frankl's anecdotes and reflections on these encounters are highlights of the narrative. Viktor Frankl - Recollections: An Autobiography is augmented by numerous heretofore unpublished photographs from Frankl's private archives. Dr. Frankl's words of undeniable power and insight make this volume a classic on par with his earlier Man's Search for Meaning, an international bestseller since its publication over 30 years ago. This is an indispensable memoir that will fascinate his millions of readers as well as professionals in psychology, social work, psychiatry, counseling, philosophy, and the clergy.

DuBois, will allow for the first time English-only readers to experience this essential text on logotherapy.

Dr. Ann Graber's magnificent work presented here in the Second Edition on Viktor Frankl is a serious attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness and viability of the use of existential analysis (logotherapy) by those in ministry. Dr. Graber has poignantly demonstrated that existential analysis can be both scientifically sound and theologically grounded. Unlike the other Viennese schools of depth psychology, Frankl centers his work in the spiritual vitality of the human soul wherein is located the origin and destiny of all emotional healing.

Having been mentored by Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, Emeritus Professor David Guttmann authored this book so general readers may understand this approach to finding meaning in life at the point when most of us begin deeply wondering over that question, at midlife and beyond. Especially in this day and age of multiple demands on our time and seemingly non-stop obligations, we too often find that it is only when the dust settles, after a work day or work week, or even after retirement, when we begin to wonder: What is the meaning of life? The purpose? This book is a new millennium venture into those questions and their answers using logotherapy, written by a sage understudy who recalls Frankl, with his logotherapy, as the epitome of his theory even at 80 years old, wise and witty, exuding an energy, enthusiasm and youthful spirit that belied his years by decades. Aging does not diminish our power, our energy, and our quest for life, but reshapes it with new understandings, goals, and needs. But, says Guttmann, we live in a technical and machine-based world now, in which there is a danger of losing our souls. Here, readers find a new, creative perspective on aging and a fresh spiritual outlook.
This book will be of interest not only to general readers, especially those at midlife and beyond, but also to their families, friends, and students or professionals in the helping professions. This unique work provides knowledge to find meaning in life derived from the fields of philosophy, psychology, religion and gerontology, with case illustrations and vignettes to give readers both intellectual pleasure and practical guidance.
