ABOUT THE BOOK

'Be a Man About It: Building a Healthier Idea of Masculinity'

Men are cracking under pressure. 


Suicide rates are climbing. A loneliness epidemic is spreading. Conversations on things like erectile dysfunction, hair loss, body image, dating, fatherhood and more stay unspoken and silent. 


The old blueprint for masculinity isn’t working, and it’s costing men their lives. 

Be a Man About It dismantles these rigid, outdated rules that men are expected to follow and builds something better: a flexible version of masculinity that shows men, women, partners, parents and teachers a new path.


Drawing on 40+ interviews with army veterans, athletes, professors, doctors, celebrities and men who nearly lost themselves, George Bell explores:

  • Why a "silent pressure cooker" in men is reaching breaking point, and how we can release that pressure in healthier ways

  • The hidden taboos keeping men isolated and struggling

  • How to expand masculinity beyond tired stereotypes

  • Practical strategies to handle emotions, setbacks, and difficult experiences without suppressing them
