About the book
Many men struggle with their mental health. Some stay silent. Others open up, sharing their experiences and seeking a better life.
In this collection of 14 real-life stories, a group of remarkably honest individuals reveal the extraordinary journeys they have taken through some of life’s darkest moments. Tackling troubles such as depression, anxiety and addiction, they prove that talking about mental health isn’t a sign of weakness – it’s a sign of strength.
Honest, moving and ultimately uplifting, this is a book for everyone: the men who are currently struggling or feeling lost; the loved ones who don’t quite know how to help; and those who might not yet realise they could use some support.
Men Speak Up is a timely reminder that no one is immune from life’s hardships, but no one has to face them alone.
The book is based on the men's mental health podcast Mid-Life Men hosted by Philip Briscoe and available on all podcast channels including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
