Psychiatrist and Holocaust-survivor Viktor Frankl delivers a powerful message about the human search for meaning.

Neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl pioneered an approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the human search for meaning. He quotes "If we take man as he is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be, we make him capable of becoming what he can be."
