Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankyl
This seminal book, which has been called “one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought” by Carl Rogers and “one of the great books of our time” by Harold Kushner, has been translated into more than fifty languages and sold over sixteen million copies. “An enduring work of survival literature,” according to the New York Times, Viktor Frankl’s riveting account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and his insightful exploration of the human will to find meaning in spite of the worst adversity, has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. At the heart of Frankl’s theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for “meaning”) is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl’s classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.
Good Grief: A Companion for Every Loss by Granger E. Westberg
With more than three million copies in print, Good Grief offers timeless wisdom for all who grieve, no matter how large or small the loss.
For more than fifty years Good Grief has helped millions of readers, including NFL players and a former first lady, find comfort, understand their emotions, and regain hope after loss. This classic text identifies ten stages of grief--shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance--but, recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, defines no "right" way to grieve.
Good Grief offers valuable insights on the emotional and physical responses we all may experience during the natural process of grieving something as small as a change in plans to something as traumatic and final as death. Reflection questions sprinkled throughout the book help you explore your own experience with each stage of the grieving process.
Good Grief includes a foreword by Dr. Timothy Johnson, a leading communicator of medical health care information, and an afterword by the author's daughters that shares how the book came to be and how it continues to impact people today.
Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, moving to a new home, or other difficult life changes, Good Grief is a proven steady companion in times of loss and transition.
