michmatched_1989's review against another edition
4.0
I found this book incredibly insightful and felt it gave some interesting points to ponder re mental health and how men / boys are socially conditioned. The first half was punchy and to the point but most of the second half felt like gap filler text and definitely could of been shortened.

hey_laura_mc's review against another edition

“All it does is create a permanent emotional hunger. We look at people’s social media accounts and see them leading happy lives. We tell ourselves that if only we had a body that looked like that person, or if we had a gorgeous partner, then we’d finally be happy. It has become a commodity, and the irony is that this type of ‘organised happiness’ - i.e. achieving through planning and goal-setting versus spontaneity - doesn’t even feel like happiness by the time it arrives in your life.”
