This might mean James Patterson on some days; on others, Kierkegaard.

Another former patient at Research, who happens to be “one of my few students ever to really get Kierkegaard,” advises Martin that “just telling your own story is best.”

“Purity of heart is to will one thing,” wrote the early 19th-century Danish philosopher and poet Soren Kierkegaard, his one willed thing being knowledge of — meaning faith in — an absolute, sometimes called God.

Viewers were gobsmacked by the end, or beginning, as it were, which validates Søren Kierkegaard's concept that "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."

But, Kierkegaard added, “I don’t know if the will is there.”
