The author recounts moments of sudden inspiration, revelation, and recognition-enlightenment arising after personal suffering, despair, and hopelessness. Lightbulb moments occur when the author shares these instances of enlightenment that emerge from significant suffering, sadness, and grief. These lightbulb moments happen when there appears to be no escape, except for surrendering to powerlessness, embracing a Higher Power, or engaging in cathartic creative activity for the greater good.

This book is a collection of memories from the author's life and experiences, serving as a self-help guide for those struggling to navigate the darkness in the night of the soul.
