Man’s Search for Meaning Book Study
A Four-Week Reflection Series with Viktor E. Frankl
Mondays, October 5, 12, 19, and 26
11am Central
Facilitated by Chris Flynn • on Zoom
First published in 1946, Man’s Search for Meaning is one of the most influential books of the last century. Drawing from his experiences in Nazi concentration camps, psychiatrist Viktor Frankl explores a powerful truth: even in life’s most difficult moments, we can discover meaning, purpose, and hope.
While Frankl’s story begins in suffering, this is ultimately a book about resilience, courage, love, and the strength of the human spirit.
What makes life meaningful?
Together, we will reflect on questions that matter deeply:
-
- What gives life meaning?
- How do we respond when life asks difficult things of us?
- What sustains us through loss, change, and uncertainty?
- How might we live with greater purpose and intention?
The book can be purchased here.
“Those who have a ‘why’ to live can bear with almost any ‘how.”
Whether you are reading this classic for the first time or returning to it again, you are warmly welcome.
As the autumn leaves begin to fall, we will gather around a timeless question: What makes a life meaningful? Together we will explore the wisdom, courage, and hope that emerge when we listen deeply to that question.
