This book is written purely from my own experience. Everything described within these pages truly happened.
Please understand: I am not a doctor, psychologist, or mental health professional. I’m just an ordinary man who struggles through life, like so many others. It was these very struggles that compelled me to write for you. Be aware: the content is dark—hence the title. I created this book as a form of relief, to ease my conscience, sharing sensitive information not even my closest family knows. For years, I wrestled with whether it was better to keep it all secret.
By sharing my story of twelve years’ suffering from depression, I hope to help others better understand the invisible battles their friend, parent, or child might be fighting—battles you may know nothing about because they’re too afraid to speak. And believe me, I understand. Talking about it is the hardest thing EVER.
Everyone faces dark times, some deeper than others, but we must not let that darkness dictate our lives. In this intense yet ultimately hopeful account, I’ll be your guide. As we walk through my lowest points, I’ll share the insights and tools that helped me face my depression. Regaining my mental health has been—and remains—a long, bumpy road. The crucial question is: HOW do we navigate it? If this book helps you even just a little… then sharing my story was worth it.

There have been many hundreds of books written about humanity from ancient times to the present day, trying to describe and understand who we are in relationship to each other and the universe in which we find ourselves. Many involve asking such questions as: Is there such an entity as God? Is there such a thing as human nature? Do we have free will? What is the best type of economy and society?
Quite a few of the authors claim to have found the answers and attempted to get their solutions accepted. If resisted, they, or their followers, have often resorted to imposing their worldviews by force. As the title suggests: this is not one of them. It is not written to persuade you to adopt any belief system or ideology. What has been attempted is to provide a comprehensive coverage of what has so far been suggested, an overview that has not appeared before, and which is aimed at giving you a range of information on which to form your own considered view on such matters.
It is also written at a time of great and accelerating change, one in which technology is being used to create virtual realities and artificial intelligences, and even new kinds of humans. And one in which, some believe, we are in the process of destroying the very environment that sustains us. The book has been written to assist understanding and is dedicated to the author’s grandchildren.
