What happens next? After the diagnosis? After the medication? After you learn to live with it, do you ever?

Following on from The Memoir of a Schizophrenic, this is a raw and honest second memoir by Karl Lorenz Willett, which continues to explore life managing schizophrenia while growing older. In a unique style that reflects Karl's thoughts, A Good Life concentrates on his mental illness, personal struggles, and how faith in a higher power has influenced his journey.

Although there is advice that medical practitioners might find helpful, most of Karl's experiences are meant for his comrades and readers unfamiliar with what living with the illness could entail. Karl offers his unique insights on consciousness, the mind's eye, theology, sociology, and cosmology. He also focuses on more personal matters, such as relationships and personal growth.

Ultimately, A Good Life delivers an inspiring message of hope, resilience, and understanding to its readers. It highlights a healing journey and the overall process of finding balance inside and out, from which anyone can benefit.
