The first one

When everything gets too much.

When Everything Gets Too Much

A practical workbook for men who get wound up, shut down, overthink or feel pressure.

Understand what is going onWithout needing to learn a load of psychology jargon first.
Try something practicalExercises, tools and ideas designed for real life, not perfect conditions.
Dip in and outUse the bit you need. Come back when another bit becomes useful.
Feel spoken to, not spoken down toReal examples, humour and no pretending anyone has life completely sorted.

Different subjects. Same approach.

Every book earns its place.

Future books can tackle different things, but they still have to pass the same test: does this help an ordinary bloke understand something, do something useful and take it back into real life?

Notice it

Spot what is actually happening, instead of just knowing you feel off.

Make sense of it

Understand the pattern in language that sounds like a person wrote it.

Try something

Pick one useful thing and give it a go without turning life into a project.

Keep what works

Take the useful bits with you. Leave the bits that do nothing for you.

What comes next?

When they’re ready.

I’m not filling this page with pretend covers or made-up release dates just to make the catalogue look bigger. There is one book right now. More are planned, and when the next one is good enough to carry the Average Man name, it will appear here.
