The Quest for Meaning in Life
This chapter examines the profound impact of meaning on mental health, addressing how its absence can lead to feelings of emptiness and depression. It delves into Viktor Frankl's ideas about finding purpose, particularly during challenging times, and emphasizes the freedom individuals have to choose their attitudes in the face of suffering. Through personal anecdotes and discussions of the 'existential vacuum,' the chapter highlights the importance of seeking meaning and the potential for transformation in even the direst circumstances.
