Phoenix Distribution I Used to be a Miserable F*ck: An everyman's guide to a meaningful life

Men are not born men – and becoming a man means a hell of a lot more than getting a six pack and an office with a view. Sometimes we all need to rethink exactly who we are and what we want to be. Deep in post-divorce soul searching, therapist John Kim did just that. He came to an astonishing realisation: he was a miserable fck who might just be to blame for the problems in his life. And thus began his reinvention - a period of self-reflection and self-scrutiny. He started the popular 'Angry Therapist' blog to document how he unpacked his emotions, his drives, his successes and his failures to help him stop acting like a boy and start living like a man. And this book tells you exactly what he learned. With his signature no-nonsense approach that will make you laugh and make you think, Kim takes you on a rough and tumble ride of exploration and discovery through the terrain of manhood and masculinity, creating the essential roadmap for the modern man. Some steps are simple: go on 'man dates'; don't pee in the shower (even if you think you'll get away with it). And some take a little more soul searching: learn to separate who you are from what you do; express your fcking feelings. Using this range of insights, Kim presents a powerful guide - self-help in a shot glass - covering essential topics from vulnerability and posturing to health and women, allowing all men to walk tall and build a life filled with purpose and passion.
