Publisher's Synopsis
Are you exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone while keeping your shit together? If you're reading this, chances are you're a man who's tired, not just "need an extra coffee" tired, but bone-deep exhausted from the weight of expectations you carry every day.
"Mental Health for Men: Daily Reminders to Stop Being So F-ing Hard On Yourself" isn't about transforming you into some zen master who has it all figured out. It's about giving yourself a break.
Society handed men an outdated manual:
- Never show weakness
- Figure it out yourself
- Man up
- Keep pushing through
How's that working out for us?
The research is clear: nearly one in three men experience moderate to high anxiety, and one in five face depression-yet we're the least likely to talk about it or seek help. We're trying to live up to impossible standards while dealing with challenges our fathers never faced: remote work, digital parenting, constant connectivity, and the pressure to be both traditionally masculine and emotionally available.
The strongest thing you can do as a man is ask for help. Just because you CAN do it alone doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Inside, you'll find:
- Real talk about the challenges modern men face, backed by current research
- Practical strategies that actually fit into your busy life
- Permission to not be perfect at work, parenting, or relationships
- Ways to ask for help without feeling like you've failed
- Simple exercises that won't make you roll your eyes
This handbook offers honest insights and practical tools from someone who's been there, not an expert, but a guy who's had many of the same feelings and thoughts as you. Through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, research-backed strategies, and brutally honest reflection exercises, you'll learn to ease up on yourself while still being the man your family needs.
Your mental health isn't a luxury-it's essential. And taking care of it isn't soft-it's as crucial as changing your oil, eating your veggies, or getting enough sleep.
Ready to stop being so fucking hard on yourself? Let's do this.
