Maria Marshall & Edward Marshall:

Bliss: Encounters with Meaning in a Complex World

This book invites readers to rediscover joy as Viktor Frankl understood it: a quiet byproduct of a life lived with meaning. Moving across education, ethics, technology, suffering, and peace, the book shows how meaning anchors the human spirit amid rapid change. Drawing on Logotherapy, contemporary psychology, and global concerns, it addresses moral injury, palliative care, Artificial Intelligence, and ethical practice. Historical and clinical perspectives—from Frankl’s early encounter with Freud to palliative care inspired by Dame Cicely Saunders and Dr. Balfour Mount—ground its vision. Bliss offers clarity and courage for uncertain times, affirming that joy emerges through commitment to truth, beauty, goodness, and service to others.



Heloísa Helena Rocha Silveira e Valquíria Gonçalves de Oliveira:

A Espiritualidade Comunitária

This book invites our imagination: What might an encounter between Chiara Lubich and Viktor Frankl  have been like?

It encourages us to reflect on the greatness of the lives and work of these two figures of the twentieth century. Both lived through the Second World War and worked tirelessly for unity in the world, while deeply valuing human diversity.

Both also taught us that we must live in pursuit of an ideal—today more than ever. Life itself reveals a richness of meaning, like an inexhaustible source, when it opens itself to transcendence, to a higher meaning, and becomes anchored in faith, hope, and love.

En el Bosque de la Bohemia con Viktor Frankl

This is is a work of philosophical fiction inspired by the existential legacy of Viktor Frankl. Through the encounter between an elderly philosopher and a young wanderer, the novel explores questions of freedom, suffering, love, and the search for meaning that define the human journey.

Written with poetic sensibility and narrative depth, this story invites readers to accompany its characters in their inner pilgrimage—toward reconciliation, responsibility, and transcendence. It is the first title in the Siendo Humanos Collection, whose purpose is to bring Logotherapy’s values and insights to a wider and less academic audience, through the language of storytelling and imagination.



Daniele Bruzzone:

Sentir el sentido, Fenomenología de la vida emocional

Sentir el sentido, de Daniele Bruzzone, es una invitación a redescubrir la vida emocional como el núcleo de nuestra existencia. Con una mirada fenomenológica, el autor nos conduce a comprender los afectos desde dentro, no como obstáculos, sino como fuerzas que transforman, orientan y dan sentido a nuestra relación con el mundo y con los otros.

Este libro devuelve a las emociones y sentimientos su dignidad original, mostrándolos como vivencias fundamentales que entretejen nuestra experiencia de ser humanos. Una obra íntima y profunda, ideal para quienes buscan habitar su existencia con mayor hondura emocional y cuidar con más sentido de sí mismos y de los demás.
