Title: Identity Crisis (A Lawyer's Tale)
Author: Robert L. Wegman, Esq.

Cry, think, laugh, live for the moment, look after yourself, body and soul. Robert Wegman expounds on all of these very human traits to overcome depression. Although he seems to be in control of his anxiety and suicidal thoughts, we read that he struggles to keep it that way. He knows that people have worse situations than him. Yet, the separation from his wife of thirty-one years, with its security, and the untimely suicide of his brother Scott often undermines his mental stability. For example, he found love again with Judyth, yet that happiness all turned to dust due to his mental health problems.

He has tried several self-help medications, supplements, EMDR, councillors and exercise. He finds that what helps him the most is his faith. I enjoyed his quote:

'I have never felt the need to be polemic about God. I have faith, and faith is the beacon that guides my life.'

This autobiography shows that he has had stressful situations, such as the worrying time a tenant refused to vacate his property despite not paying rent and the various interesting cases he has tried as a lawyer. (I learnt some interesting judicial facts here.)


The book is upbeat and optimistic, and he tries to overcome his problems. He is charismatic and a good person, and the reader feels sympathy for him. The chapters are clearly headed and of a good length, although I found the book a tad long-winded, and it sometimes took effort to focus. Although I found one spelling mistake, the prose was well-written and easy to read.

He is the fifth of five siblings, and it strikes me that he must have had to learn to cope with others and his own emotions in a large family such as this.

Because I felt slightly bored after the first half, I will award it four stars out of five. This will be a good read for anyone looking for a spiritual 'lift'.

I really enjoyed reading this review. It gave an insight into the book's strengths and weaknesses. It is interesting that it includes judicial information and could be helpful for others struggling with mental health.

From your review, this book seems like a heartfelt autobiography. Wegman shares his struggles with mental health, faith, and personal loss, which sounds compelling. However, the mention of it being a bit long-winded and sometimes hard to focus makes me hesitant. I’m not sure if this would be the right book for me right now, but it might be worth reading later if I’m in the mood for a spiritual lift. For now, I’ll pass on it.
