Prisoners of Our Thoughts 3rd...

Alex Pattakos, Elaine Dundon,...

There is a crisis of meaning in our lives, work, and society. The solution is to begin the search for deeper meaning. The authors summarize the universal and timeless wisdom of Viktor Frankl and provide new insights based on their work leading the Meaning Movement. 
 
 
 
World-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning was named by the Library of Congress as one of the ten most influential books of the 20th century. Dr. Frankl's story of finding a reason to live in the most horrible circumstance imaginable-Nazi concentration camps-continues to inspire millions. 
 
Drawing on the entire body of Frankl's work, Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon elaborate seven Core Principles and demonstrate how they can be applied to everyday life and work in the 21st century. These principles include the ultimate freedom to choose our attitude no matter the situation-the idea most closely associated with Frankl-but his ageless wisdom goes well beyond this. The third edition is revised and updated throughout and includes four new chapters: looking at meaning in a holistic, integrated way; envisioning what a meaning-centered world would look like; and exploring Frankl's legacy in the 21st century. Prisoners of Our Thoughts opens up new opportunities for finding personal meaning through living an authentic life.
