    This document summarizes Viktor Frankl's views on the three main sources of meaning in life: purposeful work, love, and finding meaning in suffering. According to Frankl, purposeful work that contributes something meaningful and achieving goals provides deep satisfaction and a sense of worth. Love, especially caring for others, is also a strong source of meaning and has inspired great works. Finally, having courage when facing difficulties and viewing suffering as a source of meaning itself can provide a sense of accomplishment, as was the case for many religious prophets who based their teachings on their own suffering.
