…foundational book read in prison that inspired personal transformation
“The first book I ever read, my cellmate gave me a copy of a man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl. And I'm sure your audience, people in that audience have read this book. And it's a very good book about Viktor Frankl who survives the astral waves. I mean, and he talks about how he survived it. And all of that was up here for Viktor Frankl because everything else that the Nazis could take away from him, they couldn't take away his mindset every day the way he saw the world.”
