This is a great book, and an important one. It's the one I would give to any friend who I observed struggling with those issues, as it's written in a genuinely human way, devoid of psychobabble, moralizing, victimhood embracing and judgement.

This book tells it like it is in an honest and down to earth way that men who find it hard to talk about mental health will be able to relate to easily. Sam really knows his stuff on this subject and is very frank about his struggles. A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it -- Shaun Ryder
A brave, vital and necessary book -- John Niven
A funny, wise and above all valuable book. An arm around your shoulder from your next best friend -- Danny Wallace
Finally, a book on mental health that strikes the right note * Reaction *
This book is fantastic and could be such a great force for good in the world. Sam's reading of it adds to the whole relatability of his experiences too -- Ruth Jones
