"Wise, warm and honest, this shares invaluable information and techniques that’ll get teen boys talking, and on the road to maintaining good mental health"
A Boy's Guide to Mental Health
Delivered in honest, engaging style, Adam Carpenter’s Let's Talk: A Boy’s Guide to Mental Health is packed with facts, and tools that’ll help boys learn to talk about their feelings. As the author explains in his introduction, “the aim of this book is to equip you with ways to make sure you stay in good mental health by talking openly about your feelings and being aware of your emotional needs”. Which is exactly what it does.
From the outset, the author smartly acknowledges the fact that many readers might be in a resolute “I don’t want to talk!” frame of mind. And that’s OK as a starting point, he agrees, because the first step to staying in good mental health is to learn to talk to yourself through, for example, listening an inner voice that tells you “I can do this!”
Alongside sharing digestible detail on the likes of hormones and brain chemicals, and explaining what various mental health disorders are (among them anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, self-harm and social anxiety), Let’s Talk equips readers with valuable techniques.
Straight-talking, and filled with warmth and knowledge, think of Let’s Talk as being a savvy uncle who’s on hand to share advice, and listen.
