I think this book puts so many of Viktor Frankl’s principles into easy to understand and relatable concepts and examples

Excellent read! Puts life in perspective and makes you thing what's it all about!

This book is close to being the best description of Logotherapy, even surpassing some of Frankl’s works. I had some trouble finding a copy of the book, which was originally published in 1969, and republished in 2013. Serendipitously I was able to find a copy in a random bookstore in Vienna.

The biggest strenght of this book is Fabry ‘s description of Logotherapeutic concepts - it’s simple without being reductionist. I think the best introduction to Logotherapy would be reading Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning first and this book second.

Clear. Perhaps better than some of Frankl’s writings.

After reading Man’s Search for Meaning, this novel was the perfect way to curtail preceding thoughts - Deconstructing the science, laws, logic and tangible applications of such practices into the real world; It opens your eyes to bot only the practical view into “meaning” and logotherapy, but the physical, meta-physical, and spiritual. Such a perfect and comprehensive dissection

Very good. A supplement to Man's Search for Meaning. If you liked that book, Pursuit of Meaning expands and reiterates and applies those concepts in other areas of life

Gives a clear explanation of Logotherapy and Frankl's work.
