Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist who survived the Holocaust — a terrifying genocide during World War II where the Nazis murdered around six million jews.

He soon went on to write his masterpiece, “Man’s Search For Meaning” where he chronicles his suffering in the Nazi concentration camps and expounds on the importance of purpose for a happy life.

It’s the kind of book that challenges your perspective and makes you question everything. Compared to the adversities he had to face, my life problems seemed insignificant.

I want to share five insightful lessons from Viktor Frankl that have helped me and hopefully you to lead a much happier and fulfilling life.

You choose your own attitude.

“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.”

— Viktor Frankl
