The “Yes to Life” Personal Growth Challenge
“Life itself means being questioned, means answering; each person must be responsible for their own existence. Life no longer appears to us as a given, but as something given over to us, it is a task in every moment. This therefore means that it can only become more meaningful the more difficult it becomes” (p. 49).
— Viktor E. Frankl
The “Yes to Life” Personal Growth Challenge will be a four-week program based on Viktor Frankl’s short book, Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything.
Each session invites participants focus on a personal growth area to connect Frankl's ideas, exploring questions of purpose, suffering, freedom, and what it means to live with intention.
What to expect
Each session is structured yet conversational — grounded in the text, but always asking what it means for us. No prior knowledge of philosophy or psychology is needed. All that's required is a copy of the book and a willingness to reflect.
Participants often describe these gatherings as rare spaces — places where it's acceptable, even expected, to sit with difficult questions about meaning, loss, and hope.
Who this is for
This group is open to anyone drawn to Frankl's work — whether you're reading it for the first time or returning to it after years away. Clinicians, students, caregivers, and curious readers alike are welcome.
