Finding Meaning: The Legacy of Viktor Frankl

In this episode, Pam Roy—writer, philanthropist, filmmaker, and cofounder of the Viktor E. Frankl Institute of America—shares insights from her new book, Viktor E. Frankl and the Search for Meaning: 21 Reflections on Living Life with Purpose. She talks about how Viktor Frankl’s philosophy has shaped her life, how the book encourages deep personal reflection through writing, and why his ideas remain so relevant today.

We discuss Frankl’s life and work, including his theory of logotherapy, the “three pathways to meaning,” and why reflection must lead to action if we want to live our values. Pam also shares her own journey of discovering meaning and how anyone can respond to life’s call, moment by moment.
