Age of the Individual and my Life and Times in It

Why read this book? It's not to learn about a unique life. Not to know what it is like to be an immigrant in Canada. Not what it is like to live with a heart disease and survive. Not to learn about the consequences of traumatic brain injury. Not to learn what life behind the Iron Curtain was like or democracy should be. Not to learn survival skills or perseverance or what to do when you find yourself helpless in the world you live in. Not how to believe in yourself and why or how to succeed in difficult circumstances. Not to hopefully understand your grandparents better. How to become a better person? You should not read this for better understanding the world we live in. Not even to become keenly aware of your own vulnerable humanity as you feel connected to another being. No. It's for all of the above.<br /><br />Best to read it when you feel alone. You will.
