From a GLAS Method perspective, Man’s Search for Meaning profoundly reinforces Purpose / Meaning, Emotions / Awareness, and Growth / Learning. GLAS emphasizes the importance of clarity and alignment in guiding action and sustaining energy; Frankl’s focus on meaning mirrors this principle by showing that an internal compass rooted in values and purpose directs behavior, even under extreme adversity. Recognizing and choosing one’s response cultivates emotional awareness and prevents reactive drift in the face of challenges.
The book also enhances Emotions / Awareness by demonstrating how individuals can observe and regulate their inner life even when external circumstances are uncontrollable. Frankl’s insistence on the freedom to choose one’s attitude cultivates resilience and intentional presence — core GLAS tenets that enable conscious engagement rather than automatic reaction. Emotional regulation and awareness allow energy to be directed toward constructive and meaningful actions, preserving vitality.
Finally, the pursuit of meaning encourages Growth / Learning and Joy / Fulfilment, as it involves reflection, adaptation, and the development of character and perspective. By aligning life choices with a sense of purpose, individuals experience fulfillment that transcends external conditions. GLAS teaches that alignment across internal values, behaviours, and context fosters sustainable energy and coherent action; Frankl’s work demonstrates how meaning-driven alignment produces resilience, deeper connection, and enduring satisfaction.
