=== Statue of Responsibility === In ''Man's Search for Meaning'', Frankl states'':''<blockquote>''Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibleness. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast''.<ref name="FranklUltimateMeaning" /></blockquote>Frankl's concept for the statue grew in popularity, and drew the affection of [[Stephen Covey]], author of ''[[The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People]].'' Covey teamed up with Kevin Hall to push the idea of the statue forward in the 1990s, and eventually commissioned the sculptor [[Gary Lee Price]] who came up with the concept of two hands clasped together. The design was approved by Frankl's widow, and they began looking for a location to construct it. Their first choice was [[California]], to have it in a Pacific Ocean harbour to complement the [[Statue of Liberty]]'s position in the Atlantic harbour of New York. However, the state regulations proved difficult to navigate, and the governor of [[Utah]], [[Spencer Cox (politician)|Spencer Cox]], suggested a location in his state for the project, which was approved in 2023. Construction has not yet started.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Us β Statue of Responsibility |url=https://statueofresponsibility.org/about-us/ |access-date=2024-06-09 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Viktor Frankl and the Statue of Responsibility {{!}} Psychology Today Canada |url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-meaningful-life/201908/viktor-frankl-and-the-statue-responsibility |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=www.psychologytoday.com |language=en-CA}}</ref>
