Upon his death in 1997, Viktor E. Frankl was lauded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time. The Unheard Cry for Meaning marked his return to the humanism that made Man's Search for Meaning a best seller around the world.

In these selected essays, written between 1947 and 1977, Dr. Frankl illustrates the vital importance of the human dimension in psychotherapy. Using a wide range of subjects—including sex, mortality, modern literature, competitive athletics, and philosophy—he raises a lone voice against the pseudo-humanism that has invaded popular psychology and psychoanalysis. By exploring mankind’s remarkable qualities, he brilliantly celebrates each individual’s unique potential, while preserving the invaluable traditions of both Freudian analysis and behaviorism.

Critic reviews

"Emphasizes the importance of helping people to find meaning in their lives and thus to live at their fullest potential. And—needless to say—those who live fully have neither fear of life nor fear of death." (Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD)

I am graduate student In the counseling field and found this to be a very useful perspective. I wish logotherapy was taught alongside the mainstream approaches. An emphasis on meaning as discussed in the book is a wonderful humanistic addition to practice and theory.

Fantastic!

I don't want to get too mystical about this book but as another reviewer mentioned, I too lost interest in alcohol after listening to it. Perhaps finding a purpose in life is the magic.

Also, the section near the end on paradoxical intention provides the best guide I've ever heard for overcoming unwanted habits and troublesome neurosis.

Listening to this ended my drinking
