“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor Frankl
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
Viktor Frankl endured unimaginable loss and horror at the hands of the Nazis, but rather than become consumed by despair or resignation to a hopeless situation beyond his control, Frankl endeavored to cultivate resilience in himself, taking responsibility of his own emotional and mental well being and seeking meaning in every moment of living. His 1946 book, Man’s Search For Meaning, chronicling his survival story has sold more than ten million copies worldwide. In it he states that we can discover meaning in three different ways “(1) by creating a work or doing a deed; (2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; and (3) by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.”
We talk about Frankl’s rules for resilience on today’s podcast.
