Biographies

What’s sort of funny when something horrific happens is that nothing happens to the rest of the world. The cars still drive, the planes still fly… everything just continues. And that’s probably the best gift we have. Because, for the most part, there’s no right or wrong way to do things – life becomes whatever you make it.

This book has been written for you.

In 2018, Ben’s world collapsed around him when he unexpectedly lost his brother to suicide.

In the raw aftermath of this tragedy, Ben found the strength to learn, educate and campaign about mental health. He also wrote this book as a reminder that in despair you can always find hope. It’s packed with advice and practical takeaways.

So read it, remember it and pass it on – it could save your life.
