How do I find meaning in my life? How can I find meaning in my work? World-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning” is one of the most important books of modern times. Frankl’s personal story of finding a reason to live in the most horrendous of circumstances-Nazi concentration camps-has inspired millions. Now, “Prisoners of Our Thoughts” applies Frankl’s philosophy and therapeutic approach to life and work in the 21st Century, detailing seven principles for increasing your capacity to deal with life-work challenges, finding meaning in your daily life and work, and achieving your highest potential. This paperback edition includes a new chapter on how readers of the hardcover edition have put the seven principles into action, both in their everyday lives and even in extreme situations such as Indonesia after the tsunami (where several aid agencies adopted the book as part of their training programs) and in post-Katrina New Orleans.>
