Book Reviews of Prisoners of Our Thoughts: Viktor Frankl's Principles for Discovering Meaning in Life and Work
Book Review: The Key to Happiness
Summary: 5 Stars
Finding peace or happiness in every situation, no matter how dreadful the circumstances. Some are lucky enough to do it naturally, others need a book like "Prisoners of Our Thoughts" to guide them. "Prisoners" offers readers the principles, tools and examples that teach us to stop being carried away by our negative reactions to difficult situations, to step back, find perspective and creatively realize the good that can come from not getting what we think we want in the moment. Frankl's life and work epitomize the triumph of the human spirit in transforming suffering into peace and turning the sourest lemons into the sweetest lemonade. Pattakos has paid homage to this great man by interpreting and reframing his work for new generations.
Summary of Prisoners of Our Thoughts: Viktor Frankl's Principles for Discovering Meaning in Life and Work
How do I find meaning in my life? How can I find meaning in my work? World-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" is one of the most important books of modern times. Frankl's personal story of finding a reason to live in the most horrendous of circumstances-Nazi concentration camps-has inspired millions. Now, "Prisoners of Our Thoughts" applies Frankl's philosophy and therapeutic approach to life and work in the 21st Century, detailing seven principles for increasing your capacity to deal with life-work challenges, finding meaning in your daily life and work, and achieving your highest potential. This paperback edition includes a new chapter on how readers of the hardcover edition have put the seven principles into action, both in their everyday lives and even in extreme situations such as Indonesia after the tsunami (where several aid agencies adopted the book as part of their training programs) and in post-Katrina New Orleans.General Books
