6A Testament to My Ego is a thoughtful reflection on a part of the author's life. While everything appears to be cruising along just fine, the author finds and endures hardships, trauma, social isolation, and various forms of penetrating abuse. Through it all, he never loses sight of the fact that this life is 'one worth living' and believes we should all do our best to wake up to another day, and give the world our very best selves, no matter how dire the situation. If you, the reader, can take anything away from this book, it is that you can succeed at being more than what you ever thought possible. There's no reinvention of the wheel here, but it's raw, it's gutsy, and if you think your emotions have been deadened by the harshness of Western society, you should think again.
