Building on the theses of the world-renowned psychiatrist and neurologist Viktor E. Frankl, this book by his most famous student presents a successful synthesis of mature theory and vivid practice, arguing that there are no obstacles in life that can truly strip it of meaning. On the contrary: all obstacles, whether mental illness or physical disability, whether depression or crises of faith, whether tragedies from one's past or current wars, are fundamentally charged with tension and generate tension, urging us to resolve this tension into a better humanity. It is a book with meditative passages, unparalleled miniatures of thought-provoking ideas, and a guide to creating a guided autobiography that conquers an unconditional yes to life and breaks all chains of entanglement.
