===''Man's Search for Meaning''=== While head of the Neurological Department at the general Polyclinic Hospital, Frankl wrote ''[[Man's Search for Meaning]]'' over a nine-day period.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://viktorfranklamerica.com/viktor-frankl-bio/|title=The Life of Viktor Frankl|website=Viktor Frankl Institute of America|access-date=24 April 2020|archive-date=6 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806130308/https://viktorfranklamerica.com/viktor-frankl-bio/|url-status=live}}</ref> The book, originally titled ''A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp'', was released in German in 1946. The English translation of ''Man's Search for Meaning'' was published in 1959, and became an international bestseller.<ref name="Klingberg2001" /> Frankl saw this success as a symptom of the "mass neurosis of modern times," since the title promised to deal with the question of life's meaningfulness.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Frankl|first=Viktor|title=The Feeling of Meaninglessness|publisher=Marquette University Press|year=2010|isbn=978-0874627589}}</ref> Millions of copies were sold in dozens of languages.
