"I skimmed through the book today. It’s so dense and so, so personal. At worst, we should feel like a voyeur, at the same time getting a “Ah-ha… so that’s what it’s about…” But hey, what do I know about blokes merely being blokes?"
Anita Roddick (founder, The Body Shop)
"This is a modern, raw and authentic story that takes the reader inside the heart and mind of a unique man."
Dr William Bloom (writer, broadcaster, teacher) Glastonbury
"Direct, frank, challenging, absorbing conversation between two men of today’s world breaking taboos which have kept us in check for far too long. Good cage-rattling stuff for the puritans if they have ears to hear; and mind-stretching for the rest of us."
Dominic Stuart (3rd Viscount of Findhorn)
“Men Speak…” is a caustically honest and brave account of the insecurities and trials we all face as men today. Its honesty and gentle humour, interlaced with a kaleidoscope of wisdom, is unique. Reading it feels like sitting with your mates and having a conversation on a level of honesty reaching terminal velocity. “Men Speak…” gives us, as men, the courage to feel, the courage to be, and the courage to express: all vital qualities if we are to triumph over the forces of conformity and finally slay the dragon "Thou Shalt" embodying everything blocking us from freedom. “Men Speak…” is not a book, it is an experience. Most critically it opens a door of communication long overdue."
Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen (author, 'Freedom's Way')
"I have just finished the book. Its truthfulness, honesty, depth and compassion have been moving and revealing for me. I've grown with it and I've changed with it. I would never have imagined the book would finish the way it did. I was almost shocked and although I tried hard, I couldn't help crying (on the Tube!). The book is amazing."
Angelica (28) London
"I got to page 5 and my belly was aching, and by page 6 I couldn’t get up off the floor. Beautiful. And also some very touching moments after that. It’s good to know that other men went through similar angst – ‘Is my knob different?’ etc. How would you know?!"
Peter (42) Dublin
"Hey! I’m reading your book! And guess what? Just had an amazing feeling of one-ness and understanding for people! Wonderful! This book is bound to change lives!"
Anita (29) Poland
"It was a privilege to read this, Thank you. I've read a lot of 'men's books' in my work as a therapist, but never have I come across anything so honest and revealing, and it all makes so much more sense now."
Simone (52) London
