I actually feel like I could have known Frankel along time ago. But of course, that was a different time. Read and reread that book because I just find him absolutely fascinating and his description of the holocaust is both tragic and it’s firing for the way he was able not just to survive, which was a miracle but to truly thrive afterwards. Great man.

The Miller of Dee was so nice and such a lovely message. True joy and happiness comes from within and not from what we’ve amassed. I’d like my legacy to be that I was a joyful, kind and empathetic person.

Thanks for this Allan. I am currently rereading Victor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning” which I will be reviewing. It is similar to your post. As I am sure you know, Frankl and his theory of logotherapy holds than happiness lies not in material things but in a life of meaning that at people yearn for.
