3. Project 1: man search for meaning vs. a whole new mind • Viktor Frankl- Man’s Search for Meaning • In Pink’s chapter of Meaning he references this book several times. He begins telling the story of Frankl and how he lived in the concentration camps. Frankl, a psychologist studied the prisoners and their battles while at Auschwitz. While he was there he wrote a book, which is “Man’s Search for Meaning”. • Frankl tells his audience that facts are presented as they are part of man’s experience, which provides the basis for understanding the psychology of individuals who face extreme suffering. • Through this he talks about his own suffering….and how he has found meaning in it to further his own life. • Pink references different people’s experience in this chapter and proves the very same point. • Ie- using Frankl
