Yes to Life in Spite of Everything
Book • 2020
This book is based on a series of public lectures Viktor E. Frankl gave in Vienna eleven months after his liberation from Nazi concentration camps.
Frankl discusses his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity.
He explores the maxim 'Live as if you were living for the second time' and argues that every crisis contains opportunity.
Despite the horrors of the camps, Frankl learned from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to 'say yes to life', a profound and timeless lesson for all.
