Viktor E. Frankl Goes to Community College Summary

Viktor E. Frankl Goes to Community College: How Creating Meaning May Save Your Life by Janet Farrell Leontiou

One of the main causes for the hopelessness that drives some to thoughts of suicide is meaninglessness. This work invites the reader to create a life full of meaning by attending to words. The emphasis here is on the power of the word. When we shift into a different relationship with words, we begin to shift as well.

Viktor E. Frankl created a theory of logotherapy by breathing new life into the thoughts of the ancient Stoics. At the center of that ancient philosophy was the logos or the word and everything behind the word. Bringing an emphasis of logostherapy (attending to the word) to Frankl's theory of logotherapy (a psychology with an emphasis on meaning) brings something new to Frankl's work. According to the author's reading of Frankl, inspiring others to create from his work was always his intention.

About Janet Farrell Leontiou

Janet Farrell Leontiou holds a Ph.D. in speech communication from Penn State University. All of her degrees are in the ancient discipline of rhetoric. She has spent the last twenty-seven years teaching the material found within this book to students at Nassau Community College. She has first-hand experience on just how empowering these ideas can be. All of Dr. Farrell Leontiou's work is on the power of spoken word and the kinds of worlds we create with our words. Two of her books-The Doctor Still Knows Best: How Medical Culture Is Still Marked by Paternalism (Peter Lang, 2020) and What Do the Doctors Say?: How Doctors Create a World Through Their Words (2010)-are about the world created by medical professionals. Communicating with Integrity (2003) was written as a student guide for the course content.
