Wisdom Wednesday with Matt Rudd on male mental health

Matt Rudd is my guest on today’s Wisdom Wednesday and I’m so thrilled to have him. After reading his book, Man Down, I’ve been left pondering lots ever since. The book combines research with Matt’s own personal exploration about why mental health in men is so troubled and what are possible solutions. Matt is a Senior Writer on The Sunday Times, he’s an award-winning columnist and currently writes the column Man Trouble in The Sunday Times Magazine. He’s written three novels and two non-fiction books including Man Down which explores male mental health. The reason why this topic is so important to me is because I grew up understanding that men struggle with mental health just as much as women as my father went through many periods of chronic anxiety, depression and even now it can be a daily challenge to manage. Matt is on a mission to create emotional equality and I couldn’t be more supportive. He’s passionate about creating a culture that allows all humans to process their emotions, regardless of what they look like or identify as.Find Matt: Twitter: @MattRuddBook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Down-Unhappy-What-About/dp/0349424810/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTColumn: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/profile/matt-rudd?page=1 Hosted on Acast.
