Book excerpt: The book is about human spiritual capacities that Viktor Frankl presents in his philosophy and their applicability to the daily lives of all of us. The book is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The focus of the first part of the book is to analyze Viktor Frankl's holistic conception of the person. In the second part, the person's fundamental abilities, such as self-distancing, self-transcendence, and the defiant power of the human spirit, are examined in depth. The book's perspective is on the existential-phenomenological philosophical nature of logotheory and its consistent consideration, especially when it comes to helping other people alleviate their suffering.
