Evidence (2018-01-24): My search lead me to Stephen Covey. In the first chapter of his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey talks about Victor Frankl and his experience in the holocaust but the quote I was searching for not there. The concept of stimulus and response is clearly set forth in that chapter, and there are some quotes that come close, but that quote — as it is represented in many places — is not there. [...] The space between what happens to us and our response, our freedom to choose that response and the impact it can have upon our lives, beautifully illustrate that we can become a product of our decisions, not our conditions. . . We have the power to choose our response to our circumstances; indeed, we have the responsibility, and if we ignore this space, this freedom, this responsibility, the essence of our life and our legacy could be frustrated (pp. x-xi). [...] And I discovered the truth behind the original quote. If we find the space between the stimulus (seeing a meme online that resonates with our perspectives) and reaction (hitting Like and Share or Retweet), ask take the time to ask ourselves if that person really said this — it can not only lead us on a journey of rich ideas associated with the quote, but it can also help us bring more awareness to the things we share, and say, online.

Evidence (2015-04-30): When things go wrong, our thoughts and feelings can be a lot like trains, and we can choose whether or not to "take a ride" on the events that happen in our heads. Sometimes a thought or an emotion takes us where we want to go, and other times we’d be better off waiting for the next one. [...] How can we strengthen our ability to let the unhealthy trains go? As Viktor Frankl said in Man’s Search for Meaning, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. There’s evidence that being mindful increases our ability to choose wisely. When we’re mindful we bring our curiosity and openness to the present moment. We’re aware of what’s going on, both inside us and around us. We’re not sleepwalking. We can choose not to react automatically—mindlessly—to an event, a thought, or an emotion, but rather to observe things and choose if, and how, to respond.

Evidence (2023-12-08): Between stimulus and response, Frankl says, lies responsibility. Each individual has the power and responsibility to choose how to respond to whatever situation... [...] Because a chief subject of Frankl's book is the suffering he and others like him endured in Nazi concentration camps, he focuses on this particular stimuli. He says that each person's suffering is singular, as is how they cope with it. How we respond to suffering helps define who we are. [...] In a larger sense, what Frankl learned in the camps applies to all of life. What shapes our lives and gives them meaning is how we choose to respond to our circumstances.

Evidence (2024-01-23): Viktor E. Frankl, the renowned psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, once stated, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. At first glance, this quote signifies the significance of the pause, the momentary gap between what happens to us and how we react. It suggests that within this tiny interval lies an incredible power - the power to determine our own response. In this blog article, I aim to delve deeper into the meaning and importance of this quote, exploring its implications on personal development and freedom. However, beyond analyzing this concept, I will introduce a surprising philosophical concept that will not only spark interest but also shed light on an alternative perspective.To understand the fundamental meaning of Frankl's quote, one must recognize the distinction between stimulus and response. Stimulus refers to any external event or circumstance that triggers a reaction from us, be it positive or negative. This includes anything from someone's words or actions to unexpected situations that arise in our lives.

Evidence (2013-07-23): Posted July 23, 2013 Reviewed by Jessica Schrader "Between stimulus and response there is a space. I have great respect for Victor Frankl. He was not only a concentration camp survivor during the Holocaust, but also someone who went on to help others find goodness and meaning in life. He was a man from whom we can learn something about what it means to be human and how to be our best—sometimes in spite of our inclinations. And the above quote is incredibly wise guidance in these very areas. [...] Victor Frankl was clearly an extraordinary man. Most of us can only wish for his moral strength, insight, and wisdom. But we can follow his lead by looking for the "space" in our own lives. When faced with situations that pull for some particular reaction, we can choose to respond instead. Frankl found his ‘space’ through finding meaning. Others find it through prayer, meditation, or therapy.

Evidence (2022-07-05): Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl (1946) founder of logotherapy, which was used for OCD many decades ago long before exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), shared this powerful view of our ability to make choices: [...] In OCD terms, if we imagine the stimulus as the trigger and the response as the compulsion, the space between these two is our ability to choose. To choose if we do that compulsion or if we make a choice towards our values and goals. This choice is also acknowledged in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). They call it the choice point. In any given moment we are in this choice point, and we can either choose to move towards what we what, or away from it. It may not feel like there is any choice, however there is. The more we practice noticing that space between stimulus and response, the better able we are to respond to the stimulus with a response that will serve us in the long run.

Evidence (2020-04-03): The comment immediately sent Frankl retreating into his imagination. He pictured his wife, the way she would talk to him and smile at him. Such a thought was a mere distraction from his reality, but it was a beautiful distraction. One that led him to discover it was love which truly allowed those who suffer to persevere despite their circumstances. Even then, on that dreadful march in the dead of winter, Frankl pushed on because he was able to retreat within himself. He quickly learned that while the body may be beaten, broken, and forced to kneel, one’s spirit remained unconquerable. This was the only reason why Frankl and few others were able to survive. [...] Man’s Search For Meaning is a book about many things. Beyond its historical significance, the book is a meditation on meaning, and how one finds meaning in the most desolate places. When Frankl stepped off of that train and into the camp, he made a choice. It was Frankl himself who beautifully said "Between stimulus and response there is a space. We are our choices, and the amount in which we suffer is entirely dependent on our response to the innate condition of suffering. We may choose to suffer, or we may choose to thrive despite the condition of suffering. The choice, as Frankl says, is up to us.

Evidence (2024-09-07): Frankl’s quote about the space between stimulus and response is one of the central tenets of logotherapy. This "space" represents a critical moment where individuals have the free will and opportunity to choose their response to any given situation, no matter how challenging or painful. The "space" where a person can choose how to respond may be small, even a few seconds or less. This choice made in this "space" between stimulus and response is what gives humans their freedom and dignity. According to Frankl, it is not the external circumstances that define us but how we choose to respond to them. [...] Viktor Frankl’s quote about the space between stimulus and response captures a fundamental aspect of human freedom and potential. His life and work, shaped by the extreme suffering he endured during the Holocaust, offer profound insights into individual free will, the power of choice and the pursuit of meaning. By applying Frankl’s philosophy in everyday situations, individuals can cultivate greater resilience, improve their relationships, and lead more meaningful lives. Frankl’s legacy continues to inspire and guide people across the world, reminding us that even in the most challenging circumstances, there is a "space" in which we have free will and the power to choose our response and, in doing so, shape our destiny.

About Viktor Emil Frankl (March 26, 1905—September 2, 1997) and his influential book, Man’s Search For Meaning: It is a tiny tome that fits in the palm of her hand yet has the power to change your life. That’s the legacy of Viktor Frankl’s 1946 book, which chronicles his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. [...] The Austrian neurologist worked as a psychiatrist and philosopher and gained notoriety after the war when he began practicing logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life meaning as the central human motivational force. Part of existential and humanistic psychology theories, logotherapy was recognized as the third school of Viennese Psychotherapy. The first school was created by Sigmund Freud and the second by Alfred Adler. Frankl went on to publish 39 books. Click here to learn about this truly remarkable man.

Evidence (2021-12-15): Viktor Frankl was a Psychologist who served three years in Auschwitz and later on wrote his famous book, "Man’s search for Meaning". One of his many famous quotes talks about the power of pausing. [...] Second, once we have taken the time to pause and create a space between ourselves and what is happening to us, then we can access our power to choose our response. Knowing when and where we have power and when we don’t, is really the key to making wholesome choices. Tying back previous posts on MYOB, when something is not your business, you generally have no power. Power goes along with authority, responsibility and accountability. They all have to be balanced. If you take on all the responsibility for someone else but have no authority to hold them accountable, you are powerless. This is the kind of soup many of us get into with our spouses, siblings, parents and children. We get mixed up between Power and Powerlessness and we set ourselves up for heart breaks, helplessness and suffering. The reverse is also equally true. In situations where we have power, we fail to set healthy boundaries, take back our sovereignty and choose what is safe and known versus what is right and unknown. So, the key to making healthy choices is to first align with our sovereignty.

Evidence (2023-10-09): I’ve been surrounded lately with promptings to reflect on the power of pausing. There’s the famous quote you may know from Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl—"Between stimulus and response there is a space. "Space" is another way to frame it. A little protected place. When we pause, we claim our power to choose a response, rather than default to react. We are claiming some ownership over what we say and do. And in doing that, much more likely to say and do what is in line with our truth.

Evidence (2022-09-02): Viktor E. Frankl was a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and lived to chronicle his experiences in his book Man’s Search For Meaning, published in 1946. Frankl was a psychiatrist who developed Logotherapy, which is a therapeutic approach that helps people find personal meaning in life. It’s a form of psychotherapy that is focused on the future and on our ability to endure hardship and suffering through a search for purpose. Frankl endured terrifying events, some of which he describes in his book, and lived to offer the world his thoughts. Through the horrors of death, Frankl offers advice on life. He offers advice on how to pursue true happiness in all situations. The lessons he teaches, acquired through harsh suffering, loss, and indignity, are truly an inspiration. His book, called "one of the great books of our time," has been translated into more than 50 languages and has sold over 16 million copies. Frankl’s teachings implore us to endure the negative events that happen in our lives and to essentially "move on" in search of what we can learn from the disappointments. I am of course drastically simplifying, but the lessons remain.

We can’t always control the external situation, but we can learn to control our reaction. Viktor Frankl, holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, states: Between stimulus and response there is a space.

Evidence (2023-08-10): In Viktor Frankl’s "Man’s Search for Meaning," the Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor writes: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. As Pema Chödrön also teaches in "Taking the Leap," we can consciously mark this pause, every time an emotion arises, before we act on impulse, by taking three deep breaths – in through the nose, and out through the mouth. This offers us just that much time before we give a knee-jerk reaction, to more mindfully choose how (and when) we truly want to respond. Most likely, an immediate response is not actually needed, or desired! We can be more thoughtful, by sending that email tomorrow, or returning that phone call in a few hours, or texting back once we have taken more time to decide what we really want to say. Here are just a couple of take-away insights/new habits I’ll be weaving into my day-to-day life: [...] I’ll be organizing my days in ways that encourage ‘pausing,’ by setting aside particular times to ‘check Facebook,’ call/text with friends and family, read/write, prepare and enjoy meals, meditate, etc. Rather than allowing my attention to dart from the page I’m reading to an app I’m checking, or from the meal I’m eating to the news I’m watching, I’ll be more deliberate in my attempts to do each thing mindfully, without distractions.

Evidence (2023-03-09): The renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl said in his seminal book, Man’s Search for Meaning, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. With mindfulness practices, we open up that space between stimulus and response. By tuning into our present moment experience with mindfulness, we create distance from the painful stories playing out in our minds. We empower ourselves to pause, to find peace, even beauty, in the chaos. Within a mindful pause, there is room for compassion (including self-compassion). We can choose how we respond instead of blindly reacting. That’s the power of mindfulness. When we are bound by reactivity, we lose our freedom; we lose agency over our actions and our own well-being. Our negative emotions run rampant, our stressors balloon, and our mental health decreases. We easily become lost in self-defeating loops of anger, overwhelm and despair.
