The saddest people in the world are those that have been brought as far as life can take them in the evolution of their individuality, because the longing in their soul for wholeness and singleness of self cannot be satisfied by life and one does not know what to do to fill the hollow in their soul and be the person they are destined to be, like my high school hero Ernest Hemingway. No matter how much life he experienced, he never seemed to get enough of it; like marlin fishing in the Gulf Stream, which so tested his manhood that he had to prove himself over, and over, and over again, and in the process winning trophies and adulation that fed his massive ego which in turn demanded more attention, a never-ending cycle that drove the great author to despair and suicide.

Few writers have impacted writing like Ernest Hemingway, and My Writing Life is a personal account of the impact he had upon the author from the day he discovered him in high school. Not only does My Writing Life offer a unique insight into the art of writing, but into the complicated life of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, and it dares to offer a psycho/literary perspective on Hemingway's complex personality and legendary suicide. A memoir like no other, My Writing Life sates the longing in one's soul that literature cannot satisfy, which Orest Stocco illustrates with the adventurous life and writing of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway.

"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" This is the title of the celebrated painting by French artist Paul Gauguin, questions that we would all like answered; but one can read all the libraries in the world and have every experience imaginable and still not know the answer to these questions. U of T professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson offers a way to find the answer with his global bestseller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, but this will only take one so far on their journey to personal resolution that will answer Gauguin's three questions; the rest of the way has to be negotiated by special effort, which One Rule to Live By: Be Good by Georgian Bay author Orest Stocco spells out by "opening the door to a new way of perceiving, a new way of thinking and understanding," an unbelievable true story that defies comprehension; a story that takes the mystery out of what the great psychologist C. G. Jung called "the way of what is to come."

""Stories bear the truth of the human condition, and the human condition is the story of our becoming; but not until we solve the riddle of our becoming will literature resolve the issue of the human condition. This makes literature endlessly fascinating, because every writer speaks to their place in the enan-tiodromiac process of man's becoming, which Jung called "individuation," and in their stories they stake out the geography of man's soul-whether it be the happy country of one's being, the unhappy country of one's non-being, or that miserable place of being stuck between two countries-the no-man's land of one's soul.""

"Open your heart to God's love and you will get all the respite you need. It is not that difficult. Whenever I was down in the dumps I prayed. You don't pray because it is not in you to beg God for help; but you can open your heart to God and let God's love pour into you. That is the way of the open heart. Here's what you do: think of all the times you loved, and let your heart fill with those memories. Think of one time, one moment of love, and just let the love fill your heart again; that's the exercise. It is your prayer. Don't ask for anything more, because God's love is all there is. I am always with you, my dear friend." Chapter 35: Padre Pio's Promise

""Despite my Roman Catholic faith growing up, when I encountered the ""doctrine uttered in secret"" I felt an immediate attraction to it; and although it threw my Christian faith into confusion, I pursued the doctrine of reincarnation. And the more I read on reincarnation, the more convinced I was that when we die we come back to live life over again; and my concern then became-why do we come back to live life over again?"" Chapter 13: MY REGRESSION TO THE BODY OF GOD
