Yeah I'm Fine...

You say it every day. "Yeah, I'm fine."
You say it to your wife. Your mates. Your kids. The bloke at work. You say it on the days you're barely holding on.

It's the most common lie men tell — and it's quietly killing us. Across the UK and US, the majority of people who take their own lives are men, most of whom never said a word.

This isn't therapy. It isn't a lecture. It's one man sitting beside another, telling the truth.

Grant Thackray lost two daughters, then spent years slowly falling apart behind a smile — drinking too much, saying nothing, convinced silence was strength. It nearly cost him everything. This book is what he wishes someone had handed him back then.

Inside, you'll find honest, practical help for the man who copes by going quiet:
• Why men shut down — and how the habit is learned, not natural
• What to actually say to start the conversation (mate, partner, or GP)
• How to spot when a friend's "I'm fine" isn't
• Real ground covered: anger, drink, money shame, new fatherhood, caring, veterans, retirement, loneliness, and finding your way back after a setback

Every chapter ends with one thing you can do before tomorrow.

If you've ever answered "fine" when you weren't, this book was written for you. And if you know a man who always seems fine — it was written for him too.

Every copy helps children and families facing life-threatening or debilitating illness. At least 10% of proceeds goes to the Sara Thackray Charitable Trust (SC037644).
