Embracing Hope

‘Viktor Frankl gives us the gift of looking at everything in life as an opportunity’ * Edith Eger, bestselling author of THE CHOICE *’[A] resonant collection of lectures and articles… .the message is moving and his lyrical prose will stick in readers’ minds… .an inspiring introduction to Frankl’s thinking.’ * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *‘These essays are without a doubt the products of the difficult, often alienating century in which they were written, but the wisdom—and, perhaps more importantly, hope—they offer during a time of competing global emergencies and the threat of human extinction is both comforting and necessary. Decades-old writing that remains timely.’ * KIRKUS REVIEWS *

Viktor Frankl was born in Vienna in 1905 and was Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Vienna Medical School. His wife, father, mother and brother all died in Nazi concentration camps, only he and his sister survived, but he never lost the qualities of compassion, loyalty, undaunted spirit and thirst for life (earning his pilot’s licence aged 67). He died in Vienna in 1997.
