My wife’s reading of Frankl’s book thirty years ago was probably one of the most important factors in setting her in motion on a second career beginning with a seminary.
Frankl was a holocaust survivor. This ancient clip from 1972 found in the TED archive shows him explaining his notion that we should expect more from people than they may seem capable of.
If Frankl is right I’d ask you to ponder the question of which person more fully reflects Victor Frankl’s philosophy, Rush Limbaugh or Barrack Obama.
