Man's Search for Meaning

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Viktor Frankl invented a newtype of psychotherapy which revolved around finding meaning in our lives. As Nietzsche said: "He who has why to live for, can bearwith almost any how." In a cruel twist of fate,
Frankl got the chance to put his theoryto the ultimate test when he was transported to Auschwitz. Could he find meaning in the suffering he was to experience? And if there was none, even if he survived, would life be worth living? Extracts from his bestselling book are read by John Rowe. Producer Matt Thompson
