Editorial Review:
This timely book expands on Viktor Frankl's seminal Man's Search for Meaning, examining the book's concepts in depth and widening the market for them by introducing an entirely new way to look at work and the workplace. Alex Pattakos, a former colleague of Frankl's, brings the search for meaning at work within the grasp of every reader using simple, straightforward language. The author distills Frankl's ideas into seven core principles: Exercise the freedom to choose your attitude; Realize your will to meaning; Detect the meaning of life's moments; Don't work against yourself; Look at yourself from a distance; Shift your focus of attention; and Extend beyond yourself. By demonstrating how Dr. Frankl's key principles can be applied to all kinds of work situations, Prisoners of Our Thoughts opens up new opportunities for finding personal meaning and living an authentic work life.

Rating: - The gift of a 'meaningful pause'...
This book is the `pause' that is needed for all of us as we live in this world of constant change and chaos. It takes us away from the `busy-ness' of it all and gives us time to reflect on what is ultimately important to us and in our lives...the meaning within each moment. And it is that `meaning' so many of us may have lost in our lives and our work which causes us to react to situations (and to others) rather than being fully present and aligned with our values.
If you have ever been challenged ... Read More
Rating:  - Why do we feel so bad?
It's a question that each of us has asked at some point in our lives. It's been contemplated and argued for decades by some of the greatest minds in religion, philosophy and science. The feeling had become so prevalent in society, that in 1992, Forbes magazine dedicated its 75th Anniversary issue to answering this ominous question.
We live in a world of unprecedented abundance; arguably, the most "prosperous" time in the history of mankind. Yet so many of us lead lives of unhappiness and despair. ... Read More
