A newly discovered classic—a collection of inspirational lectures on embracing life from worldwide bestseller Viktor Frankl.

Viktor Frankl gives us the gift of looking at everything in life as an opportunity – Edith Eger, bestselling author of The Choice

Offers a path to finding hope even in these dark times – The New York Times

A rediscovered masterpiece by the 16 million copy bestselling author of Man's Search For Meaning.

Just months after his liberation from Auschwitz, renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl delivered a series of talks revealing the foundations of his life-affirming philosophy. The psychologist, who would soon become world-famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and his conviction that every crisis contains opportunity.

Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say yes to life—a profound and timeless lesson for us all.

With an introduction by Daniel Goleman.
