O smyslu života - V každé krizi se skrývá příležitost – Frankl Emil Viktor (2022)

You are holding a new edition of three lectures by Viktor Frankl from 1946, which have immense power and are surprisingly relevant, summarizing the entire thinking of this great doctor and psychotherapist. Their purpose is to show that life has meaning despite everything – despite misery, death, suffering, illness, and fate – and it is possible to say Yes to it. Many people around the world are disheartened by the realization that material wealth alone is not what gives their life meaning. Viktor Frankl says that it is life itself that poses questions to us, which we must answer. And only when we respond to them do we have the opportunity to fulfill the meaning of life. Frankl develops his fundamental belief that being human means being able to choose how we will react to various situations, how we will approach them. Evidence of this is his own painful experiences with loss, hunger, and fear of death, in which he managed to find hope, friendship, and meaningful experiences despite everything. In every crisis, there is also an opportunity – to prove our own humanity.
