Man Enough to Ask

The statistics are grim and familiar — men die by suicide at several times the rate of women and sit in therapy waiting rooms at a fraction — and this book is fifty men explaining what finally got them through the door.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts dismantle the delay: the decades of 'fine', the heart-attack scare that was a panic attack, wives and mates who said the sentence that landed, therapists quit and retried until one fit, medication accepted after years of refusal, men's groups that made the unspeakable ordinary. Writers include fathers breaking generational silence, veterans and tradesmen and executives in their own registers, the relapse that didn't end the story, and what asking actually cost versus what it was feared to cost.

Who it's for

For men circling the decision to get help, the people who love them and don't know how to push, and anyone dismantling the 'man enough' arithmetic.
