The Will to Meaning

"The Will to Meaning" is a concept introduced by Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. It suggests that the primary drive in humans is not the pursuit of pleasure or power, but the search for meaning and purpose in life. Frankl believed that even in the most challenging circumstances, finding meaning can lead to fulfillment and resilience. This idea emphasizes that everyone has the ability to find purpose through personal experiences, relationships, and contributions to society, ultimately shaping our identity and well-being.
