Ironically, many need both an arm around the shoulder and a proverbial kick in the butt; both affirmation and challenge, and they need it from voices that acknowledge their emotional complexity while not apologizing for their intrinsic maleness.In A Path to Manhood, author Paul Cumbo draws on his two-decades-plus experience of teaching, coaching, and mentoring teenage boys and young men to deliver concise, relatable messages on the pursuit of virtuous living. By eschewing the reductive depictions of masculinity in traditional culture, readers will better learn how to use personal strength for the betterment of themselves and others.With compassion and conviction, Cumbo explores self-knowledge, friendship, education, finance, vocation, health, habits, love, marriage, faith, and fatherhood. While addressed directly to young guys themselves, the book will resonate with their parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors.Combining skilled storytelling, a keen understanding of masculinity, practical spirituality, an inclusive attitude, and good-natured humor, A Path to Manhood invites today's young men to take an honest look at themselves, practice discernment, and make thoughtful decisions and takes readers on a compelling journey of the mind and heart.

For centuries so called 'difficult women' have been labelled as 'hysterical' and 'out of their minds'. Today they wait longer for health diagnoses, often being told it's 'all in their heads'. Although healthcare systems are overburdened, why are women the first to feel the effects of this? Why is it so hard for women to find the kind of help they need? Why is no one listening to them? And why have so many lost faith in mental healthcare? Drawing on the lived experiences of women, alongside expert commentators, recent history, current events, and her own personal and professional experience, Dr Linda Gask explores women's mental healthcare today. In doing so she confronts her role as a psychiatrist, recalling experiences treating women and as a woman who has received mental healthcare, illustrating the dire need for more change, faster. Women can't all be out of their minds.
