"Thank God I Failed"
by Orlando Da Silva
He was at the top of his career.
And so close to ending his life.
In 2008, Orlando Da Silva almost died by suicide.
He was a senior trial lawyer with aspirations to lead the Ontario Bar Association.
But he had spent decades believing a voice in his head that kept getting louder.
Thank God I Failed is the story of what happens when that voice nearly wins.

"In five decades at the bar and on the bench, I have never encountered a story so powerful and compelling."
George R. Strathy
Former Chief Justice of Ontario
