 这本书是精神病学家 Viktor Frankl （维克多-弗兰克尔）1946年出版的一本著作。全书分两大部分，一部分是作者在纳粹集中营经历的回忆录，另一部分是他的心理治疗理论——意义疗法（Logotherapy）的介绍。 这本书被美国国会图书馆评选为最具影响力的十本著作之一，并入选香港大学必读50本图书。 书中，作者以自己的经历和病人的故事为基础，描述了他如何在极端困境中找到生存的意义。他提出人的基本动力是寻求生活的意义，而不仅仅是追求快乐或避免痛苦。他认为即使在最绝望的情况下，个体也能找到意义，我们可以在痛苦中寻找意义，并带着新的目标继续前行。 作者Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) 是一位医学博士，奥地利神经学家和精神病学家，是存在主义心理治疗的先驱之一，也是意义疗法（Logotherapy）的创始人。意义疗法是存在主义分析法的一种形式，被称之为继弗洛伊德的心理分析、阿德勒的个体心理学之后的维也纳第三心理治疗学派。  看完这本书，对作者十分钦佩，他所经历的一切并非每个人都能承受得住。其次对于痛苦的定义，对于人生的意义，获得了新的领悟。以前一直不理解，生命中经历的痛苦为什么会有意义？如果你对此也感到困惑，可以拿起这本书读读。 “Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.” “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” 我相信，每个个体是具有极强的主观能动性。人，可以根据不同的境况作出反应和采取应对措施。即使有时候无法改变外在环境，我们仍可以掌控自己的意志，改变看待事物的角度和方式。或许正是因为经历了集中营这种炼狱般的痛苦，作者才对人生的意义有了新的领悟。 我觉得这本书的英文版不算难，阅读中学了不少表达，像是： coop up 关起，to fly the coop 逃跑 congenitally blind 先天失明，congenitally deaf 先天失聪， congenitally malformed 先天畸形 take its course 顺其自然，任其发展 live it up 尽情狂欢 分享书中一些语录： ➀“Terrible as it was, his experience in Auschwitz reinforced what was already one of his key ideas: Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning” ➁“Frankl saw three possible sources for meaning: in work (doing something significant), in love (caring for another person), and in courage during difficult times. Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it.” ➂“Frankl writes that a person “may remain brave, dignified and unselfish, or in the bitter fight for self-preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than an animal.” ➃“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.” ➄“For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.” 这本书我会再读，它的中文版“微信读书”上有。  英文版请看文末领取，不会领取的朋友，请先看下面这篇文章👇 因为公众号平台更改了推送规则。不想错过内容的朋友们，记得点下“赞”和“在看”，还有➕星标，防走失哦！ -感谢关注- 本文作者：Eveline静 （Evelyne，独立老师） |
