Resumen del Editor

Should this book have been written? Should it be read? Why is there still so much stigma, shame and taboo associated with mental health? Why do men struggle so much to talk about their problems? Are we adequately equipped? In the workplace, in your home, in the church, in society?

The introduction in this book briefly explains how our brains work, it is a powerful organ. Are you trapped in a negative mindset? This book will change the way that you think.

A survey of 1,000 men carried out by the Priory Group revealed the following:

77% of men polled suffered from common mental health symptoms such as anxiety, stress and depression.

40% of men have never talked to anyone about their mental health.

29% of those who haven’t talked say that they are “too embarrassed” to speak about it, while 20% say that there is a “negative stigma” about the issue.

The biggest causes of mental health issues in men’s lives are work (32%), their finances (31%) and their health (23%).

40% of men polled said that it would take thoughts of suicide or self-harm to compel them to seek professional help.

This book is dedicated to the brave men, who found the courage to talk about their mental health.

Asking for help and sharing the pain that you live with is the most courageous thing you can do.

Also, to all men, especially:

The silent ones

The lonely ones

The still suffering ones

The recovering ones

The shameful ones

The painful ones

The unspoken ones

The broken ones

The rejected ones

The disrespected ones

The ones who want to die

The ones who never cry

The ones who believe the lie

The ones who would deny

That Big Boys DO CRY
