In today's episode, we delve into how Austrian psychotherapist Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, and Jose Pereira, a former hostage in Venezuela, found meaning in deplorable conditions and circumstances.
Frankl's philosophy emphasized finding meaning through creative pursuits, service to others, contradictory experiences, decisions, spiritual connection, and perceived meaningless tasks.
Similarly, Pereira found ways to cope during his hostage years. Likewise, we can apply these lessons in our lives and we can choose positivity, service, finding meaning, optimism, love and joy.
