Lebe deine Möglichkeiten

The experienced companion and therapist Erich Schechner unlocks the impulse of the famous psychologist Viktor Frankl (1905–1997) for all seekers of meaning and critical contemporaries of our time. It is about a way to be and remain a free person, not to be used by society, the economy, and other people as a means to an end. With concrete examples and in easily understandable language, the author demonstrates that existential thinking requires taking responsibility for one's own life. This is a current book on the insights of Viktor Frankl, the founder of logotherapy. After World War II, he came to public attention with his work: "... nevertheless say yes to life: A psychologist experiences the concentration camp." In this work, he described his experiences as a prisoner in Auschwitz. The breathtaking life path of the Viennese psychiatrist led him to establish a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the question of the meaning of existence and helps individuals find a yes to life even in the most profound situations.
