About Psychology Presents: What did Frankl Think Stopped People from Finding Meaning in Their Life?




Frankl said there were 3 main barriers to finding meaning in their lives.  The first was affluence (being rich).  The second was hedonism (seeking for and caring only for pleasure –almost the exact opposite of what Frued thought would help people).  And finally, the third barrier to people finding meaning in their life is materialism.  I can certainly see how this would stop someone from searching further for deeper meaning, no matter how nice the diversion is.
