Prisoners of Our Thoughts – Alex Pattakos

The late Viktor Frankl’s hopeful Man’s Search for Meaning emerged from his experience in a Nazi concentration camp. With Frankl’s blessing, Pattakos, a cofounder of the Innovation Group consultancy and a former professor of public and business administration, applies Frankl’s lessons to corporate America’s workplaces. Logotherapy, Frankl’s therapeutic approach, says we are free to respond to all aspects of our destiny; Pattakos argues that if we all have a will to meaning, then even if we work for unenlightened companies, we can still “connect meaningfully with others” within the workplace. Finding your sense of humor, giving to others and forgiving, and “de-reflecting” (or shifting your focus of attention) are all strategies for connection; one should consider “ten positive things” when losing a job or taking a pay cut. Pattakos ends each chapter with a “Meaning Moment” and a “Meaning Question,” which can seem contrived (how exactly is your work like a “mission”?) and a lot of the advice will feel like familiar workplace etiquette that has been rebranded. Still, Pattakos’s is a humane approach that allows for purpose in even the most purposeless-seeming environments, which is surely palliative care—if not a cure—for work ruts. The foreword is by The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People author Stephen R. Covey.
Prisoners of Our Thoughts (over 50,000 copies sold of the first edition and translated into 14 languages) builds on the work of world-renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Viktor Frankl. Author Alex Pattakos extrapolates 7 key principles from Frankl’s writings and applies these principles to help people find deeper meaning in their personal and professional lives. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated throughout, with a new chapter, “The Meaning Difference,” added.
