Viktor Frankl was a Vienna psychiatrist who ended up in four concentration camps. He lost his father, mother, brother, and wife. His manuscript — a decade of work — was confiscated in ninety seconds on the ramp at Auschwitz.

What he discovered in those camps became the foundation of logotherapy and one of the most referenced ideas in modern psychology: no matter what happens to you, there is one freedom that cannot be taken away.

In this episode: the story of how he found that idea — and what it means for your worst Tuesday.
