You are not alone. From a young age we're told that boys don't cry. But whatever your gender, everybody has their ups and downs, and everybody cries including men. It's time we talked about it, and this book is starting the conversation. From tips on how to reach out to advice on navigating mental health issues, this volume is full of guidance on how to look out for your well-being in a world that often tells you not to. It's here to tell you that boys do cry, that it's okay not to be okay and that being a "real" man means just being you. AUTHOR: Charlie Hoare is a life coach and entrepreneur who co-founded TAPPED birch water having worked for Innocent Drinks, Air Asia and start-ups in London, Hong Kong and Malaysia (from where he cycled the 10,000 miles home).
