It would appear bookshelves are replete with the author’s account of ascending some metaphorical mountain with various trials and tribulations along with the pathway of life. So why the inclusion of another work that runs the risk on the precipice of the dustbin of vanquished literary works? Potentially this book, originally my dissertation and passport into the illusionary world of the academy, could be just that with some inclination that sharing with others, which I would posit is knowledge at its best, may have some inclining of value for those who are on the same academic and/or personal journey to the self. What evidence, in the spirit of the academy, would warrant such a bold proposition?
