Mental Health Journal for Men: Creative Prompts, Practices, and Exercises to Bolster Wellness Paperback – August 4, 2020

Got this for my partner for his anxiety! Looks great to me

I bought this for my husband and he got a lot out of it. He liked the layout of it and thought it was easy to follow along with.

This book has encourage my male clients so much.

Interesting exercises. The intro itself really helped me frame the fact that its okay to be a man and feel anxiey. It will be overcome with work on getting yourself back to your normal. Obviously don't buy this hoping for Fraiser level psycotherapy benefits, but as a self help guide I like it.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone! I initially bought it for my friend, however, have found myself digging into the creative writing exercises, drawings, and other information because they are fun, clinically sound, interesting, and engaging! This isn't the sterilized, boring, psychiatric help books I've gotten before. It's certainly written by men for men - short, sweet, but to the point. However, I would recommend it to anyone whose looking to explore their psyche's, independently, or as an adjunct therapy to use with their doctors or therapists. It's so refreshing to see that men's mental health is being taken more seriously, and author Ryan Howes, PhD, wrote this perfectly. It's more than worth the price you pay!

I got this for my boyfriend so we could talk about his feelings and he loved it

Purchase these mental health daily challenges book for gifts. Great book to help you cope with stress, anxiety, depression, etc

I'm a little disappointed in this book. The dumbed-down language playing into all the problematic male stereo-types is disconcerting. It has "A Man, A Can & A Plan" vibe; A "dude-y" Men's Health perspective on mental health. It tries to hard to connect with "guys." and makes assumptions about their attitudes. There are many cultural references that are not relevant (does anyone under 30 know who Larry King is?). Clearly this is a book meant for a subset of men who probably wouldn't want or care to deal with their mental health otherwise, or even in spite of this book. I don't think beer can crushing guys care, and anyone who isn't that would benefit from something that doesn't patronize them.
