===Overcoming anxiety=== By recognizing the purpose of our circumstances, one can master [[anxiety]]. Anecdotes about this use of logotherapy are given by ''New York Times'' writer Tim Sanders, who explained how he uses its concept to relieve the stress of fellow airline travelers by asking them the purpose of their journey. When he does this, no matter how miserable they are, their whole demeanor changes, and they remain happy throughout the flight.<ref name="Sanders2008">{{Cite news |last=Sanders |first=Tim |date=27 October 2008 |title=A Chatterer's Guide to Easing Anxiety |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/27/travel/27iht-25flier.18204176.html}}</ref> Overall, Frankl believed that the anxious individual does not understand that their anxiety is the result of dealing with a sense of "unfulfilled responsibility" and ultimately a lack of meaning.<ref name="Boeree">{{Cite web |last=Boeree |first=C.
