'The most honest, most revealing - and funniest - exploration of
male mental health I have ever read' Adam Kay 'Matt Rudd may have
written the most important book in a generation' Idle Society 'A
whole-hearted and important attempt to analyse what has gone wrong
for so many men and to make some tentative suggestions for what may
help' The Times 'This book is essential' Sathnam Sanghera 'I love
everything Matt Rudd has ever written' Chris Evans 'I loved it'
Christine Armstrong On the surface, men today don't have much to
complain about. At work, they still get paid more than women for
doing the same jobs. At home, they still shirk most of the unpaid
labour. Putting the bins out does not count. Beneath the surface,
it's a different story. An alarming number of men end up anxious,
exhausted, depressed - and very reluctant to admit they are. Even
if they do everything that's expected of them in work, life and
fatherhood, genuine happiness is still elusive. By midlife, their
levels of stress are higher and their levels of wellbeing are lower
- and work-life balance turns out to be just a cruel illusion. The
evidence is clear and ironic: the system set up by men for men
doesn't work for men either. It is making none of us happy. In Man
Down, Matt Rudd takes the long view on this perplexing paradox.
Drawing on stories from his own life, and the varied lives of the
other men he has interviewed, he goes back to the beginning to
consider what makes the modern man - how the seeds of midlife
misery are sown in the school playground and cultivated through
adolescence and into adulthood. By turns compassionate and
provocative, Man Down asks the important question: is midlife
unhappiness inevitable? Spoiler alert: it isn't.
