Human beings not only have a will to pleasure (Sigmund Freud) and a will to power (Alfred Adler), but also a will to meaning (Viktor Frankl).

This noëtic dimension is responsible for the ability of each individual to face the inevitable blows of fate that life gives us with courage, creativity, and insight.
