Claim: claims that psychiatrist Viktor Frankl once stated, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." (Viral quote, 2019-09-13)
Evidence (2024-09-25): Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl once wrote, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. This space is an opportunity to exercise our leadership. By pausing, we can see all the available moves, rather than reacting impulsively or following the known path. Workplace culture values productivity and speed, often at the expense of effectiveness. [...] There are endless moments to practice with the power of the pause — to elongate the space between the action happening and our response. Next time you’re in a team meeting and feel the urge to respond quickly, pause for a moment instead. When engaging in a heated discussion, account for your own emotions and motivations — as well as those of others in the room — before choosing an appropriate response.

Evidence (2020-10-08): Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist, wrote a highly respected book called Man’s Search For Meaning about his experience of surviving in a concentration camp during World War II. The central point of this profound book is that no matter how bad things are, nothing can ever take away the fact that one still has a choice about how we will respond to what is happening. He understood the critical distinction between reacting and responding. As he states, responding is a choice, whereas reacting is something we do immediately with little conscious thought or intention. [...] Stress happens, and there is a lot of it right now. Response-ability happens, too. Especially when we remember that choosing to be response-able is what will, in the words of Viktor Frankl, greatly enhance "our growth and our freedom."

Evidence (2024-04-09): The Space Between Stimulus And Response 3/4/2024 While driving recently, I was wondering what to write for this month’s Musing when I came to a stop sign. Seeing the red sign with STOP written on it brought my attention back to the present moment. "Aha!" I then thought - I’ll write about STOP, an acronym that reminds us to pause to practice mindfulness in the moment. The importance of pausing is well described in the quote below often attributed to Austrian psychiatrist and holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, although I have been unable to find a reference to him actually saying it. Instead, according to the Viktor Frankl Institute, "The true origin of the quotation is somewhat involved. To put it shortly, the author Stephen R. Covey used to recount that he found the quote in a library book and thought it fitting to describe Frankl's views - but he did not note down the book's author and title." Whatever the origin, this is still a very powerful statement: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. Pausing allows us to pay attention to our present moment experience, and in pausing gives us the space to choose our response, rather than just reacting to our circumstances.

Evidence (2021-09-17): The last of human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. – Viktor Frankl, Austrian psychiatrist, survivor of Auschwitz [...] By shifting our response, we become more resilient; we learn and grow; we recover our well-being.

[...] So when we become aware that we are in a stressful situation, we can see if it’s possible to practice STOP, perhaps by remembering a red stop sign (or seeing one as I did). Whenever we do pause to decide what to do, if we choose wisely, we may find that "in our response lies our growth and our freedom".

Evidence (2023-06-22): Decades ago as a freelance writer interviewing sources for magazine articles, I learned the valuable tactic of asking a provocative question, then shutting up. Because many people feel compelled to fill silence with whatever comes to mind, keeping my mouth closed often yielded interesting material. Likewise, allowing long pauses in a conversation might coax additional surprising information to come out. Introverts tend to have an easier time than extroverts tolerating conversational silences, for the following reasons. [...] A pause in talking, however short, can offer a small pocket of peace or rest, a mini-retreat, the suspension of pretense or an opportunity for someone to tune into themselves or for their true self to emerge. It creates space for "What do you really think?" Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, author of Man’s Search for Meaning put it this way: "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. Minimizing small talk, as introverts prefer, also creates such space.

Evidence (2022-05-08): Years ago, I might have taken the piling on personally. I might have allowed myself to become overwhelmed, subsumed by the wave of hard things. In such circumstances, it can seem like you have no agency at all, that there’s nothing you can control, that life is happening to you. In difficult moments, I often think back to the Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning. In it, he chronicles his experience in Nazi concentration camps and reflects on what makes life worth living and how humans can preserve independence and spiritual freedom even in the worst circumstances. And what it comes down to is believing in our own agency, recognizing that in every circumstance, if nothing else, we can control how we respond. [...] With all that in mind, today I’m sharing a quote widely attributed to Viktor Frankl and a prompt inspired by it. [...] Write about the space between stimulus and response. Write about a time you recognized it—or you didn’t—and how that impacted your life.

It is just a tool to achieving a greater sense of self and allows the men to cut through to finding a sense of purpose.

In the movie Fight Club, a variation of this quote is spoken by Tyler Durden. [...] When we focus on impressing people, we are way too externally focused. Sure, we all love the idea of impressing others. But taken to an extreme, we can begin to focus on how we value ourselves based off what other people think about us. What things have you purchased to impress people?

Evidence (2024-10-09): The fact that extremist readings of Fight Club have risen in prominence since 1999 reflects the way that tensions visible then have since reached breaking point. But beneath those readings lies another interpretation, easily lost in rows over the film’s alleged fascism, which sees the film not as an extremist manifesto but a diagnosis of why such things become attractive. When the film came out, Faludi was promoting her book Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man, which mapped some of the same frustrations that drive Fight Club. In her review for Newsweek, she saw a story about men realising they had ended up in the same corner in which women had long been trapped, being subjected to some of the same unending, impossible consumerist pressures women had long put up with. As she notes, Norton’s character begins the film "trying to glean an identity from Ikea brochures, entertainment magazines and self-help gatherings". In No Logo, Klein detected a similar shift, as culture jammers turned their fire from the sexist content of ads to the fact that they had spread everywhere.

Evidence (2018-08-20): "We buy stuff we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like". This is a quote from the movie Fight Club. The materialistic and consumeristic world that is part of modern day existence — does it undermine the authenticity of our being? The film shows how the idea of materialism and consumerism impacts one’s authenticity, abandoning the political "must do’s" that are present in society. [...] We pollute the earth because we want electricity, but not only to survive. It is also used to power desires which we don’t need. Which is effectively a result of materialism.

Evidence (2016-10-12): Fight Club is arguably one of the most influential movies of its time. Starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, the movie is filled with memorable quotes that are still being frequently quoted till this day. [...] All too often, we find ourselves spending money to buy stuff we don’t really need. As the spending habit builds up, we start spending more each month just to keep up with appearance. Before we know it, we become loyal to our job not because we love it, but because we need it to upkeep our lavish spending. [...] The biggest financial theme we can takeaway from Fight Club is that our material possessions are not what defines us. So let’s stop spending money unnecessarily on things we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like.
