Man's Search for Meaning is a book by Viktor Frankl that combines a memoir of his experiences in Nazi concentration camps with an introduction to his psychotherapeutic theory, logotherapy.

In this episode, I share the key ideas of Frankl based on a conversation published in another book called Embracing Hope.

This week I have got the theme of Meaning of Life for you. And we start with the same book called Meaning of Life. Presented by The School of Life this book is a practical guide that helps readers find meaning through areas like love, family, work, and nature. It suggests that meaning comes from a personal and ongoing process of defining and cultivating what is important, rather than a single, universal answer, and encourages the development of emotional intelligence to lead a more fulfilling life. About A Book A Day podcast: This podcast is hosted by author Deepak Rana, coming to you from the serene heights of the Himalayas.
