Description
I don’t think any combination of words can paint a picture gruesome enough to describe what existing (note the difference to “living”) inside a Nazi concentration camp must have been like.
Viktor Frankl was one of the few, who survived in a place, where your chances of dying are higher than those of living on any given day. After three years in various concentration camps, his camp Türkheim was liberated, upon which he returned to Vienna, where he was born.
Frankl spent the rest of his life teaching what he’d learned during the worst of times: that people can, and must, find meaning in their lives, even if all they know is tremendous suffering. It’s known as logotherapy and is what makes him one of the key figures of modern psychology.
Here are 3 lessons from his world-famous 1946 book, Man’s Search For Meaning:
1. Sometimes the only way to survive is to surrender to death.
2. Your life has its own meaning and it’s up to you to find it.
3. Use paradoxical intention to make your fears go away.
Are you ready for some of the toughest lessons anyone has ever had to learn? Let’s show Viktor Frankl some respect by learning from him.
Lesson 1: Being indifferent to death allowed people to survive.
Frankl said all concentration camp prisoners went through the several phases after arriving at the camp. This one is what made him and some of his surviving peers different from those, who perished, and it’s quite paradoxical.
In order to survive, you had to be okay with dying any moment.
This sort of indifference to death, the perspective of merely existing, not living, allowed prisoners to shield their minds from the terrors around them and do what was necessary to survive.
All of the things we take for granted today were severely limited in the concentration camps: food, clothing, sleep, rest. By surrendering to the present and not spending one second thinking of the future, prisoners summoned the apathy they needed to, for example, grab a vital pair of shoes from a dead body or hide in a pile of manure to avoid being led to the gas chambers.
Sometimes, the only way to survive is to surrender to dying.
Lesson 2: Your life has its own meaning and it’s up to you to find it in any given moment.
If you ask any great chess player what the best move in chess is, they’ll just stare at you with a puzzled face. There is no such thing. There is, however, a best move in any particular constellation of pieces on the board. Of course there’s a best move in any game situation, but no general move beats all others.
The meaning of your life is the same way.
There’s no general meaning of life and not even one, singular meaning of your own life. Your life’s meaning is not only unique to you, it also depends on your decisions and situations.
This is what logotherapy claims and it flips the common misconception that you have to find your life’s meaning first, before you’re able to live your best life, upside down.
Instead, how you act, and how much responsibility you bring to the decisions you make determines how big your sense of meaning in life is.
For example, Frankl found meaning when stumbling through the night, barefoot, across icy rocks and through big puddles, forced to work by the Nazi guards, simply by thinking of his wife, imagining her face up in the clouds and finding bliss in this moment of love.
Lesson 3: Try to force your fears to come true to make them go away.
Another thing logotherapy does is enable people by focusing on their internal state of mind, instead of external factors, thus giving them a sense of control over their own life.
