Interesting book. More suited to those who are beginners to mental health advocacy/discussions.
Very powerful moments in it, very interesting moments as well. I think it’s very “be an actor, not a victim” of the author, and I do appreciate the empathy that comes with the work that he is doing.

In bits, it felt perhaps like it had lost touch. It felt like there was less reflection on his own difficulty speaking up which fair enough because it is a difficult topic after all. But it was kind of ironic given the book.

This book is a great mix of memoir (quite personal), talking about mental health, and tips for how we ourselves can make a difference. Ben West is open and personal, and wrote/tells his story in an easy way, so that everyone can get something out of this book.
