Gender studies: men; Coping with illness

What does it really mean to be a man in the modern world?

""I'm fine"" is the typical male response to the simple question: How are you feeling?

But it is not fine. Men's mental and physical health is taking a battering like never before; the image of a man is more distorted than ever before, and the meaning of what it means to be a man is more uncertain than ever before.

This all despite years of attempting to help men to open up about their feelings and understand their behaviours. But men are killing themselves at shocking rates. They also account for the majority of addicts and die younger than women. Put simply, men, especially young men, have lost their identity in the world.

This book reports the alarming statistics regarding men's physical and mental health and includes personal stories facing men today. Crucially, it offers practical and positive solutions to the growing crisis faced by males of all ages.

For equality to continue to grow, we must accept that men have uniquely male problems that need to be recognised, acknowledged and addressed by businesses and the wider society health and includes personal stories facing men today.
