Man's Search for Meaning is a book all about the lessons

that Viktor Frankl learnt from being a prisoner in the concentration camps.

It's a really powerful book and I took a lot of lessons from it, and I'm going to show you the top 5.

Number 1.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing, the last of the human freedoms, to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

Remember that in any situation, you can choose how to react.

You are not experiencing the world, you're experiencing your thoughts about the world.

Imagine there's a final filter between the real you and the outside world, and that is your thoughts.

You can control that final filter.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission.

Imagine two healthy men are in a car accident.

Both are paralysed and lose the ability to walk.

The first man feels extremely hard done by and becomes really depressed

and says how he wishes he had been killed in the accident and feels miserable.

The second man, in the exact same situation, decides to do the opposite.

He chooses to feel gratitude for the fact that he survived.

He feels like he was wasting his life before and so goes off and achieves great things despite his disabilities.

He feels liberated and doesn't fear the things he used to.

He says how in some ways he's grateful for the accident

and it has woken him up and he's seizing life and feels much happier than he used to.

I highly recommend practicing meditation each day even

if only for a few minutes

because it allows you to separate yourself from your thoughts and have an objective view on situations, which makes it feel like you're watching them happen to someone else.

This allows you to react much more logically and not feel as emotionally attached to bad situations.

The more you meditate, the easier it will become.

Marcus Aurelius said, if you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it, and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

So choose your own way to react.

Lesson 2.

You aren't searching for a life of peace, you are searching for a life with a purposeful struggle.

When most people imagine their dream life is something like sitting on a beach with a nice drink, relaxing with nobody telling them what to do.

They have enough money to do whatever they want and people think this will make them extremely happy.

As they have never lived this life, I can't say for certain, but I believe what would happen is

that people would enjoy it for some time and then would feel extremely bored and lost.

You see this happen quite often with celebrities, sometimes turning to drugs to get some excitement back in their lives.

Obviously this has terrible consequences.

So what should they do instead?

Viktor Frankl teaches that people really want to work towards something in their life that has a real purpose.

You want a purposeful struggle.

Something to work towards that isn't instantly completed.

Something that you have to chip away at each day.

For me it's this YouTube channel.

Most days I just chip away, write small parts of scripts for videos and it makes me feel great

because each day I'm working towards helping people improve their lives by explaining various concepts.

This is my purposeful struggle and it's always easy

but that's what makes it so satisfying when a new video is completed

because i know all the effort

that goes into it what purposeful struggle should you work towards it's a difficult question to answer

and obviously different for everyone

but the advice i'd give is to think of something greater than yourself

and then just try lots and lots of things

and keep spending your time searching and learning don't stay in a job

that you hate lesson three almost all of what you fear

is not important victor frankl explains what happened to the prisoners after they were released from the concentration camps.

There were negatives but the biggest positive was the liberation the prisoners felt.

They were liberated from any fears they used to have.

In comparison to the concentration camps, their previous worries were insignificantly small so they felt empowered to do whatever they wanted with their lives.

I had depression before and I felt terrible and often couldn't get out of bed because I couldn't imagine a positive future.

Before I had depression, I used to worry about what other people thought about me

and didn't ever properly try and work towards anything huge due to fear of failure.

I'd always wanted to make a YouTube channel but I never did

because I didn't have the drive and I was worried what other people would think.

After getting through depression suddenly all of that didn't matter anymore.

Having depression allowed me to gain real perspective and to see how insignificant my previous worries were.

I was just happy to be feeling better and I couldn't wait to start work on a YouTube channel.

So I fully committed to creating this channel.

I'm so glad that I have.

I absolutely love what I do.

Here's a great quote from the book that will guide you through life.

Live as if you're living for the second time, and the first time you lived as wrongly as you are now.

So remember, almost all of what you fear is not important.

Lesson four, have gratitude for very small moments and simple things.

People always want more.

Have gratitude for what you have now, so that when you do have more, you'll have gratitude for that and actually enjoy it.

Otherwise, you're always chasing something in the future, and the grass will always be greener on the other side.

Seize any moment that life gives you to smile.

Properly stop and appreciate it fully.

One of the simplest ways to instantly have more happiness in your life is to practice mindfulness

and be completely mindful in happy moments.

Mindfulness is simply living in the present and practising getting out of your head and into your body, not thinking about the past or the future, just focus on the present.

One of my favourite quotes of all time comes from the film Kung Fu Panda, where Master Ugoi says to Poe, You are too concerned with what was and what will be.

There is a saying, Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.

That is why it is called the present.

In the book, Viktor Frankl explains that one night, one of the men rushed into the cabin and told them all to come quickly and see the most incredible sunset.

Frankl said it was a fantastic sunset

and the sunsets were one of the few things the guards couldn't stop them from enjoying.

If you're ever overwhelmed just look at a sunset and remember

that it's the exact same sun that Frankl looked at and enjoyed so much.

When I do this it instantly makes me appreciate my freedom

and everything that I do have and suddenly any worry shrinks to its proper size.

One of the simplest ways I've found to feel happier in my life is

that each night I think of three things during the day that I really enjoyed.

Sometimes I can have it in my head

that it's been a bad day but then

when I think about those three things I realise actually this has been a really great day.

I'd really recommend just trying it.

Also appreciate any moment of laughter.

Viktor Frankl had a friend in the camps

and the two of them would try each day to tell the other something funny that would make them laugh.

Patch Adams is one of my favourite films of all time.

100

Here's a quote from it about the power of laughter.

101

Remember laughing?

102

Laughter enhances the blood flow to the body's extremities and improves cardiovascular function.

103

Laughter releases endorphins and other natural mood -elevating pain -killing chemicals, improves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs.

104

Laughter boosts the immune system and helps the body fight off disease, cancer cells, as well as virus, bacterial and other infections.

105

Being happy is the best cure of all diseases.

106

So have gratitude for very small moments and simple things and laugh as often as possible.

107

Lesson 5.

108

He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.

109

Viktor Frankl got through the terrible time in the concentration camp

110

because he knew he would take what he was learning from the situation and write a book.

111

He knew that that book would really help others.

112

He chose to focus on how he was going to help other people

113

because of the situation he was in and he didn't focus on the terrible things that were happening around him.

114

He thought of something bigger than himself.

115

The way over prisoners got through the camp was to be

116

extremely generous giving away some of their food to other prisoners

117

this would give them a huge sense of purpose these prisoners

118

gave themselves a real purpose a reason to keep going they had a big why

119

because they were staying positive for other prisoners

120

when you're working towards something you'll find it much easier to keep going

121

if your main aim is something bigger than yourself the aim

122

of this youtube channel is to improve the lives of millions of people around the world

123

because this aim is so great

124

and much bigger than me it keeps me going in times when i'm finding the work difficult.

125

So, to summarise, lesson one, everything can be taken from a man but one thing, the last of the human freedoms,

126

to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

127

Lesson two, you aren't searching for a life of peace, you're searching for a life of a purposeful struggle.

128

Lesson three, almost all of what you fear is not important.

129

Lesson four, have gratitude for very small moments and simple things and laugh as often as possible.

130

And lesson five, he who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
