Clifford Whittingham Beers (–1943)

Great book. What a sense of humor he had all through dark times. Wonderful story of being at times greatly benefited by a "retreat" and also nearly killed by the mistreatment there. He put himself through hell so that he could gather information for this book, which started as a grand delusion and ended up real and helping to bring about real changes in the world :) Like William James said, it reads like fiction, but it isn't. Well worth reading, especially as his mission still isn't complete more than 100 years on.
