The journey of personal deconstruction is not an easy one, but once you have set out on the path, there is no going back. You will require determination, commitment, and a willingness to listen to the audiobook as it was intended, as a dialogue with yourself.

It is an audiobook of serious inquiry into the nature of being human, using the author's life as a backdrop for many topics.
