Viktor Frankl - The Monday Morning Memo

It took Viktor Frankl only 9 days to write Man’s Search for Meaning in 1946. The English translation was published in 1959 and became an international bestseller. In a 1991 survey conducted for the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club, Frankl’s book was named one of the 10 most influential books in the US.

All of this was brought to the attention of Indy Beagle – the true and only Emperor of the Rabbit Hole – by Wizard of Ads partner Vi Wickam.

“My best friend of all times was 30 years older than me. His name was Frank, and he was a mentor to me in so many ways long before the term “life coach” came into popularity.

As a current old geezer at 73, I feel a tug of obligation to pass on a trick Frank played on me when I was young and a bit bewildered.

Frank always acted as if I had already achieved a positive trait or skill I was struggling to attain. He treated me as if I were wiser than I truly was. He assumed I was acting in a noble, unselfish manner long before it dawned on me to do so.

It put a lot of pressure on me to be the guy Frank already had christened me as being. I’m a better man today because Frank saw a beauty in me long before I caught up with his positive image.

Many years after Frank has passed, I try to pull the same trick on young people I love.”
