Transcend suffering & find significance in the art of living - Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

Transcend suffering & find significance in the art of living - Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

In this profound episode of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark take an inspiring journey into the life-changing ideas of Viktor Frankl, the renowned neurologist, psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor, and author of Man’s Search for Meaning. This timeless work explores how the pursuit of meaning can give our lives a profound sense of purpose, even amidst unimaginable suffering.


Frankl’s reflections, born from his experiences in Nazi concentration camps, challenge us to rethink the way we approach adversity, freedom, and happiness. He reminds us that while we cannot always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond through his belief that “those who have a ‘why’ to live can bear almost any ‘how,’” Frankl empowers us to find strength in our purpose and transform even the harshest realities into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.


Mike and Mark break down Frankl’s core principles, sharing practical applications that help us survive difficult times and thrive through them. By aligning our lives with meaning and embracing challenges as stepping stones for progress, we can develop the resilience, creativity, and courage necessary to live boldly and intentionally.
