Your body needs maintaining to keep it healthy. So does your mind.
Sounds simple, but tired and outdated ideas that tell men how they ought to be, mean the message gets lost. And the results speak for themselves: suicide is the biggest killer of men under fifty. There’s no more room for debate – taking care of your head space should be as normal as eating your five-a-day or going to the gym.
Many books make impossible promises about how they will fix all your problems and stresses with some miraculous ten-step programme. This one doesn’t. What it does do is provide practical help, when times are tough and also when they’re not. And just like with your physical health, it doesn’t always have to take much to make a difference.
Developed in partnership with Mind, the mental health charity, This Book Could Help is filled with straightforward expert advice and simple techniques to help you shake off what other people say you ought to be, prioritize yourself, meet challenges and develop new strengths, in areas such as dealing with stress, motivation, work and life goals. We all deserve to live fully and respect our struggles, so start here and back yourself every day.
Because head space is not a luxury, it’s essential.

In depth psychological tome it ain’t. However, it may just be enough to help someone in need and prevent someone getting to that point. Worth a read.

Purchase was uneventful.
Book seems good.
My other half has read some and quite likes it.
I hoped it would be more useful than it seems to be.

Indeed this book could help. It is written in a way which is clear, concise and very much to the point. The design makes the book look good and helps the ideas become easy to access. It is written for men who are not used to thinking about how they feel and shows some really practical ways of coping with mental health difficulties. It manages to be informative, practical and simple without being in the slightest bit patronising. Akinsets shows a very genuine respect and care for his readership. He clearly knows them well. I will certainly use it with my clients and recommend it to other therapists.

I haven’t got too far into the content, but what I’ve read so far is solid. However I cannot recommend the Kindle edition. The formatting is terrible. Every page I have to zoom into the actual type to make it readable. There is lots of scrolling and zooming necessary, and for no reason at all it is incompatible with my older Kindle ebook device.
