Lives & Ideas
In 1946, about a year after leaving the Nazi camps, psychiatrist Viktor Frankl dictated a short book in nine days and wanted it published without his name. By his death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold over 10 million copies.
Viktor Frankl lost his life's work on his first day in Auschwitz, and found a page in a dead man's coat that told him to live his ideas instead of only writing them down. When he finally wrote them down, he wanted his name left off.
