I'm Fine (But Not Really)

What Men Need to Know, Without Going to Therapy

By: Peter Meades

How many times have you said 'I'm fine' when you're anything but?

Modern men are under pressure to be strong, silent and always in control. But what happens when this isn't true? Drawing on over twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr Peter Meades confronts the crisis of men's mental health with unflinching honesty and deep compassion, bringing together real-life stories and straightforward tools to help men make sense of stress, anger and shame.

This groundbreaking guide reveals why men delay seeking help until breaking point, and offers a lifeline: therapy without going to therapy. Through ten transformative insights - covering everything from emotional resilience and trauma recovery to relationship skills and the impact of expectations around 'masculinity' - it guides you in mapping your own journey. You'll find practical exercises designed to help you spot patterns, build self-awareness and take achievable steps toward change.

Written for men who avoid therapy or struggle to talk, this is a resource you can use privately and at your own pace. Discover how to reconnect with your body, manage stress and redefine what strength means - without jargon or judgement. Real change starts with one honest look in the mirror.©2026 Peter Meades (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited
