Yes to Life, in Spite of Everything: Viktor Frankl’s Lost Lectures on Moving Beyond Optimism and Pessimism to Find the Deepest Source of Meaning “Everything depends on the individual human being, regardless of how small a number of like-minded people there is… on each person… creatively making the meaning of life a reality…

In psychotherapy, there are principles and there are preferences.

People tend to mistake their personal preferences for principles.

We have 400+ therapeutic modalities because of preferences, not principles.
