To live is to suffer. To die is to perish. To survive is to find meaning in suffering. The meaning of life lies in whatever I am doing in order to not committed suicide. The way to bring meaning into my life is to devote my self to loving others And be of service to people I love And my communities.
This book was a turning point for my life. It is here that i first encountered Nietzche through the line " One who has a WHY to live can bear with any HOW", and now I've read a lot of Nietzche (It took me an year of constant efforts)and listened to many lectures on him, that my whole worldview is permeated with Nietzchean attitude to life. All thanks to Victor Frankl.
@@frankantunez5254 Firstly nietzche's style was so dense and enigmatic, that the first time i started one of his books, i was left breathless after a sentence, then i understood that i had to improve my comprehensive skills to atleast try reading it: Nietzche himself wrote that he doesn't want to be understood 'just by Anyone'.And as he was more of a critic than a philosopher, we need to have a contextual knowledge on all the things that he criticized: but the man criticized the entirety of philosophical tradition from Socrates and the entirety of western civilization, and the entirety of Christian Morality. So i started with Will Durant's "Story of Philosophy " which gave me a great context and perspective on the problem of Truth which had been a major philosophical preoccupation before nietzsche. And most importantly, Nietzche's life is inseparable from his Philosophy, so you can start with BBC' "Genius of the modern world: Nietzche" on Netflix or TH-cam, which i think is the best documentary on his life and work. I also listened to a 25 lectures series by Robert.C.Solomon on TH-cam hand it is my lifeline now, he's an extraordinary teacher, i enjoy listening to them again and again,highly recommend it .Also read his book" what Nietzche really said", which debunks all the myths that surround his life and Philosophy. Read Schopenhauer and Kant, if you can, for deeper interpretation of his work. I also had to listen to a lot of other podcasts, and introduction books ,graphic novels, articles,...etc..whatever i can find on him. All of this took almost 8 months for me, i never gave up. He fascinated me deeply. Now I'm reading Beyond Good and Evil and Thus spoke zarathustra. But still i have to put in more efforts and read them again and again, these texts are heavy to digest, they need to be chewed for a long time. Ask me anything specific if you need ...i can help
@@suryatejadasari3471 thanks a lot for the reply, I’ve had the same problem where it seems that I’m unable to find the real meaning so you’ve definitely been of great help!!
@@frankantunez5254 there's no ONE interpretation of his work, it's quite open ended and highly subjective.. Don't hesitate, just jump into it, you'll find your own interpretation
I also listen to his book multiple times at das beginning of the lock down is USA While I was in pain from some torn tendons in my leg. It was a good pain killer.
You're proud of your slavery aren't you. You're a hero! Well a hero to yourself and your family stupid, average friends. Get your headphones out and listen forever...You will never be unlocked again. Check this post in a few years and see if I'm right. I know I'm right.
01:05 - 01:15: Hey, listen: out there somewhere, there is, in the very least, someone who, specifically, needs you to necessarily exist as the most authentic version of yourself. Many people find meaning value for their existence by being useful to other living beings that depends upon them, that is why a lot of people find joy in taking care of kids, pets, plants, disabled individuals, socioenvironmental causes, etc.
Im putting together a powerpoint to stick in front of my psychologist and counselors faces and im gonna copy some words stated here giving credit where credit is due. I never had believed that I got correctly diagnosed with Bi-polar 1 disease. But they wont let me get around it. Sure I got hospitalized 4 times within a 4 month period of my entire 29 years of existence (no broken bones, just mental was seriously "crazy") "Suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning." I loved that so much...That's really going to help my case. I was always aware of what I was doing, under no influence of drugs or alcohol. I was just following a narrative I made up in my head that people would not understand unless they heard MY whole story of how I came to be extremely motivated by my own curiosity on a certain topic/narrative. I can't wait to put this presentation together and unload it all in their shitty 45 minute appointment time frames.
Ah cool! This has been on my list to make a video about for a while without a doubt one of the greatest books ever just beautiful in the purest sense of the world this man stared into one of history's deepest abysses and managed to come out singing of hope and the goodness of humanity
You never disappoint. Great video as always! I started watching your videos a few months ago, and you've been directing me towards which books to read with every video. I'm glad to say that with every new book I've read after watching a video, I feel 1% closer to finding more value in life. Genuinely, thank you and keep the great work!
Amazing descriptive video with such BEAUTIFUL art! I thought I was only going to listen to 1 minute of this because I was rushed... but the book description and vivid art pulled me in much longer. THANK YOU for this video, I’ll definitely be getting the book :)
6:30 In a way both work togheter and cause togheter. Man has a will to meaning because this fulfills his will to power and the will to power fullfils the will to pleasure. I search meaning so I can fell more empowered and be more powerful so that i can feel happy and pleased with myself. They tie with each other.
(Personal Notes) Nietze, Man's search for meaning, Logos, will to meaning (is Jordan Peterson a logo therapist?). Rule: pursue what is meaningful not what is expedient. Happiness may find you of you chase meaning but chasing happiness is not the goal 1. Work 2. Love 3. Suffering
Really great video and the book is very NB. I read a biography of St Faustina. It helped me bear with suffering more than any other book I read. Millions also credit the Little Flower for her little way. Frankel though is powerful. A great wise man of our times. Etty Hilsum is also important. Her diary is powerful. For intellectuals study the life of Edith Stein. She wrote of the science of the cross. Or Thomas More. Today is his feast day.
06:26 - 06:29: Existing to search for the meaning of your existence is, in itself, already a meaning to your existence. In another words, we exist to search for meaning for (our) existence, as if existence existed to understand itself.
Why do you need a meaning for life? Because of the meaning associated with the word "why"! We think everything has a meaning, that our brain and our senses can comprehend. That is a flaw of our brain structure! None of the animals search for a meaning, they are born, live and die. We are the same. Problem is when we think we are god!
sounds very much like coping ,just like nietzches "solution" to suffering. Rather then change ones circumstances, one changes onself and copes with suffering, or worse yet, starts embracing it, like nietzsche.

(Personal Notes)
Nietze, Man's search for meaning, Logos, will to meaning (is Jordan Peterson a logo therapist?). Rule: pursue what is meaningful not what is expedient. Happiness may find you of you chase meaning but chasing happiness is not the goal
1. Work
2. Love
3. Suffering
love is the highest goal.
Thank you for sharing this
A profound book, no doubt.
I was an early sub, you are doing a great job
8:28 excellent quote

I’ll go with the meaning thesis any day or time .

Great video as always
Damn have you improved your editing? Nice work
Thanks. Same editing as usual!
When will you return to the greatest philosopher series? I'm interested in Bertrand Russell and if or how you'll present his background and works.
Will probably resume the series in the near future, Bertrand Russell should be interesting!
plz upload man and his symbols by carl jung i have been waiting for so long
Still got to finish the book! The wait will be worth it :)
Its all about personal perspective.
🖤
I actually have the answer from my research
Why do you need a meaning for life? Because of the meaning associated with the word "why"! We think everything has a meaning, that our brain and our senses can comprehend. That is a flaw of our brain structure! None of the animals search for a meaning, they are born, live and die. We are the same. Problem is when we think we are god!

What is the name and artist of the painting at 1:52?
