Drama, enchantment, addictions-compulsions as Substitute for meaning

No happiness without meaning

It is possible to have meaning without producing happiness.

No sufficient conditions for happiness.

Map of happiness

Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy is based on the premise that the human person is motivated by a “will to meaning,” an inner pull to find a meaning in life.

The following list of tenets represents basic principles of logotherapy:

1. Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
2. Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
3. We have freedom to find meaning in what we do, and what we experience, or at least in the stand we take when faced with a situation of unchangeable suffering.
