#1 Viktor Frankl was a psychiatrist who was extremely curious about the human condition. He was drawn to helping people, and he wanted to be a psychiatrist before age ten. He developed a theory called logotherapy, based on the Greek word logos for meaning, which believed that a person’s development and quality of their mental health stemmed from having meanings to fulfill in their own future.

#2 The most fundamental threat to a person’s Future Self is not the loss of freedom, but the absence of purpose and meaning. Frankl’s story provides a startling illustration of how serious these threats can be.

#3 The core tenet of logotherapy is that human beings are driven by their views of their own future. Having purpose can prolong and sustain life far beyond what seems like natural life expectancy.

#4 Hope is the will and the way. It is the belief that you can achieve a specific end, which is worthwhile and important to you. It is the powerpack that sustains you through the ups and downs of whatever you’re pursuing.
