Man's Search for Meaning

I honestly do not know how to think about this book. I love it, of course. It is very important, of course. And now I can say I have read it. It was not quite the book I was expecting, though I am not able to say precisely how it differs from what I thought it would be, and from what I wish it had been.

I very much appreciate Frankl's logotherapy, with its insistence that the will to meaning is foundational. I suspect one gets a better picture of humans if one combines the drives for pleasure, power, and meaning into one picture, and so I am loathe to say that Frankl is right and Freude and Adler were wrong. But if I were forced to pick one model from which to view myself and others, it would have to be Frankl's.
