Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything
Eleven months out of the camps, Frankl told a Vienna audience why life remains worth living. The lectures were then lost for seventy years and only recently recovered.
Eleven months after being liberated from the camps, Frankl gave three lectures in Vienna on why life remains worth living, and on the responsibility that survival imposes. Out of print for seventy years and only recently recovered, they are more direct and less systematic than Man’s Search for Meaning, and in places considerably more moving.
