Sort Your Head Out: Mental health without all the bollocks
'An honest, funny account of how we're all capable of changing for the better' SETH MEYERS
'A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it' SHAUN RYDERSam Delaney was Jack the Lad. He was confident, loud and funny; an absolute legend, to be honest. Or at least that was what he pretended to be.But when he reached his thirties, work, relationships and fatherhood started to take their toll. Like so many blokes who seemed to be totally fine, he often felt like a complete failure whose life was out of control; anxiety and depression had secretly plagued him for years. Turning to drink and drugs only made things worse. Sam knew he needed help - the problem was that he thought self-help was for hippies, sobriety was for weirdos and therapy was for neurotics.Keeping it all inside was what nearly dragged Sam under. Then he began to open up and share his story with others. Soon his life started to get better and better. Now, he's written this book to help you do the same.Covering his complex upbringing, fast paced career, struggles with addiction and recovery, and detailing lessons he's learnt along the way, Sort Your Head Out is Sam's startlingly raw, compassionate and hilarious account of why opening up is the first step to sorting your head out.Sam Delaney is a journalist and broadcaster whose work has featured in the Guardian, Telegraph and talkSPORT. He is former editor-in-chief of Heat magazine.
Sam is the co-host of Top Flight Time Machine, a podcast that started out as a romp through football nostalgia and became a wider reflection on life as a middle-aged man. It has been downloaded over millions of times by listeners across the globe. Sam also hosts The Reset, a podcast in which he chats to guests about mental health, addiction, recovery and all that sort of stuff. He is the author of three previous books.Author: Sam Delaney
