Viktor Frankl Collection at the Global Dialogue Center!
Many people around the world have been touched by Viktor Frankl’s work. This is true for me, too. I feel blessed that I was given the opportunity to meet him in person, have the gift of his influence on my life and work---and to seek his counsel. It led to my own quest for meaning and he became a leadership role model for me, practicing what he preached. For all these reasons and more, I am honored to serve as the host of this special collection at the Global Dialogue Center---a tribute to Viktor Frankl’s life and legacy, which will forever bring light to darkness.
Our goal is to continue to enhance the Viktor Frankl Collection at the Global Dialogue Center, inviting you into the process, sharing ideas and resources and engaging with YOU in a dialogue at this critical time in our history --- working to put Viktor Frankl's principles to work to create a better world for all of us.

The VISION
"Freedom is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. The positive aspect of freedom is responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty of the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast."
--- Viktor Frankl
circa 1960 |

NEW EDITION: Prisoners of Our Thoughts
by Alex Pattakos, Ph.D.
New edition of Prisoners of Our Thoughts in paperback, Audiobook CD, and digital download formats!
Prisoners of Our Thoughts applies Viktor Frankl's philosophy and therapeutic approach to life and work in the 21st century, detailing seven principles for increasing your capacity to deal with life-work challenges, finding meaning in your daily life and work, and achieving your highest potential.
Among other changes, this new edition includes a new chapter on how readers of the hardcover edition have put the seven meaning-centered principles into action, both in their everyday lives and even in extreme situations such as in Indonesia after the tsunami (where several aid agencies adopted the book as part of their training and relief programs) and in post-Katrina New Orleans.
