Whats sort of funny when something horrific happens is that nothing happens to the rest of the world. The cars still drive, the planes still flyeverything just continues. And thats probably the best gift we have. Because, for the most part, theres no right or wrong way to do things life becomes whatever you make it
This book has been written for you.
In 2018, Bens world collapsed around him when he unexpectedly lost his brother to suicide.
In the raw aftermath of this tragedy, Ben found the strength to learn, educate and campaign about mental health. He also wrote this book as a reminder that in despair you can always find hope. Its packed with advice and practical takeaways.

A candid, funny and confronting memoir, this book will strike a chord with anyone who's ever suffered with their mental health or knows someone that has.
