Boys Don’t Cry

Bol

Jamie Laing's A-Z of male vulnerability is the conversation starter the younger generation of today didn't know it needed. Based on his personal experiences with mental health, and the wisdom he's accumulated from people he's met along the way, Boys Don't Cry provides an alternative, healthy blueprint for what contemporary masculinity can look like. Powerful and timeless, this is a book for everyone that will kick-start honest conversations and help create real change' - Fearne Cotton 'This book reminds us that being vulnerable is the very gateway to deeper friendships and richer forms of flourishing. A very necessary, highly readable and relatable voice to help us to discover more liberated and creative ways of living' - Alain de Botton Accessible and packed with helpful takeaways, this is a handbook Jamie has poured his heart into about growing up in today’s society – a handbook that you can dip into and that is split into easy-to-digest mini chapters about: dealing with panic attacks (‘A is for Anxiety’) why setbacks are a good thing (‘F is for Failure’) the meaning of true friendship (‘L is for Loneliness’) and much, much more. This is the book you need to make meaningful changes in your life.Because when it comes to being a man, Jamie is still trying to work out how to be one he’s proud of being, rather than the one society expects him to be. And now that he and wife Sophie Habboo are going to be parents, he wants to share the tools to help his child grow into a balanced, thoughtful and kind person.Above all, Jamie shows us that vulnerability is cool. And that boys do cry - after all, he's done plenty of that this year. With contributions from Sophie, this book will help men and women, boys and girls have the conversation of all conversations: how to live your happiest and most resilient life in today's world.
