What is 'THE EXISTENTIAL VACUUM?'
"Imagine a vast, suffocating emptiness devouring your purpose & meaning, leaving you lost in a desolate void. Viktor Frankl termed this the 'existential vacuum' - a chilling abyss where individuals confront the stark insignificance of their existence, devoid of direction or fulfillment. It's the chilling realization that life lacks substance, purpose, & intrinsic value, plunging one into a terrifying chasm of existential despair" (ChatGPT prompt: 'In 75 words or less explain Frankl's concept of the existential vacuum in a dreadful way that is easily understood').
In my 4th video honoring Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, I reflect on Viktor Frankl's concept of "The Existential Vacuum" in relation to men's health & wellness. Throughout June, I will continue to release more videos regarding the #MentalHealth & #psychology of #men.
