Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist, philosopher, author, and Holocaust survivor. He created the psychological construct, called "logotherapy" which asserts that the primary force of an individual is to find meaning in life.
I have an inclination that the great resignation we're seeing now has a lot to do with Frankl's philosophy which is based on a human's need for meaning. His book, "Man's Search for Meaning," is a critically acclaimed memoir about the intense recount of his life as he navigated the unpredictable and unimaginable existence within an Auschwitz concentration camp.
"It doesn't matter if you're a positive thinker or a realist. All that really matters is; are the thoughts you're having serving you or not? Are they getting you connected to the meaning you're seeking? There is a space between a thought and the meaning we attach to that thought." - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.24
