This book contains statements about the irreducible meaningfulness of life - despite pain and transience - that have rarely been articulated so convincingly, according to expert opinion. This is not surprising, as the author is a first-generation student of Frankl, who maintained contact with her teacher from 1968 until his death in 1997. She owes him numerous insights into the multi-layered structure of humanity - in the interplay between body, soul, and spirit. From this arise extraordinary and astonishing indications for the personality development of the child, for remaining oneself within the family, for survival principles in nature, and for dealing with emotional confusions. These insights can only be conceived by taking seriously the existential concerns of humanity, including its inherent longing for meaning.
