Now that I’ve had the time to read the entire article, I wouldn’t agree that Nolte lacks ego integrity. The article ends with this quote:
You learn acceptance and humility. You learn how to find happiness on your own terms. Just because I cry every day, doesn't mean I don't laugh every day, too.

Interesting contrast in this week's The Week, quoting from a boohooing GQ interview with Nick Nolte: "Nick Nolte has found getting old to be a painful experience, said Davy Rothbart in GQ. "I cry every day," says the actor, 74. "It's nothing tragic or anything - it's just life. I cry when I try to get out of bed, because I'm in my 70s and my body hurts like hell. Once my joints are moving, I'm all right, but those are my first tears in the morning." Nolte's acute sense of mortality is reinforced every time an old friend dies. "That'll always bring on a good cry..." But Nolte says that perhaps the most painful consequence of growing old is seeing your children become involved in their own lives and slowly drift away. "My son is 28. We've had a close relationship all my life, but now that he's gotten married and had his own family, he's much more secretive. He'll say, 'That's none of your business, Dad. Leave me alone.' And that's a sad one - letting go of your children...." After reading the above I concluded that Sacks is a good example of ego integrity in Erikson's final psychosocial stage, while Nolte might be a pretty good example of the failure of it: despair.
