Synopsis

'An honest, funny account of how we're all capable of changing for the better' SETH MEYERS

'A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it' SHAUN RYDER

Sam Delaney was Jack the Lad. He was confident, loud and funny; an absolute legend, to be honest. Or at least that was what he pretended to be.

But when he reached his thirties, work, relationships and fatherhood started to take their toll. Like so many blokes who seemed to be totally fine, he often felt like a complete failure whose life was out of control; anxiety and depression had secretly plagued him for years. Turning to drink and drugs only made things worse. Sam knew he needed help - the problem was that he thought self-help was for hippies, sobriety was for weirdos and therapy was for neurotics.

Keeping it all inside was what nearly dragged Sam under. Then he began to open up and share his story with others. Soon his life started to get better and better. Now, he's written this book to help you do the same.

Covering his complex upbringing, fast paced career, struggles with addiction and recovery, and detailing lessons he's learnt along the way, Sort Your Head Out is Sam's startlingly raw, compassionate and hilarious account of why opening up is the first step to sorting your head out.

Goodreads review by MR

Sam has been an inspiration to me and pivotal in my decision to quit alcohol. The title is a slight misnomer in that they book focuses more on recovery than mental health. Whilst the two are linked, I am aware that many people who want to ‘sort their head out’ don’t have drunk or drug problems. Rega......more

Goodreads review by Debbi

3 🌟 for self-help part of the book 4 🌟 for the memoir element More a memoir than a self-help book, which was the main reason for picking this book up. I used to enjoy Sam when he reviewed the papers on Sky news. He had an edge to him, and whilst I didn't always agree with his opinions, I was prepared......more

Goodreads review by Rory

Love this book - an inspiring and smart mix of personal memoir and treatise to sort you own head out. As suggested by the sub title “mental health without all the bollocks”, this is a book which will suit those alienated by the language of well-being and mindfulness. Sam details his struggles with a......more

Quotes

This is a great book, and an important one. It's the one I would give to any friend who I observed struggling with those issues, as it's written in a genuinely human way, devoid of psychobabble, moralizing, victimhood embracing and judgement. It comes from a place of hard-won experience, told with total honesty. It will do more than just save lives, it will help those saved lives feel like they're genuinely worth living

An honest, funny account of how we're all capable of changing for the better

This book tells it like it is in an honest and down to earth way that men who find it hard to talk about mental health will be able to relate to easily. Sam really knows his stuff on this subject and is very frank about his struggles. A great, motivating book that can really help - every bloke should read it

A brave, vital and necessary book

A funny, wise and above all valuable book. An arm around your shoulder from your next best friend

Finally, a book on mental health that strikes the right note Reaction

This book is fantastic and could be such a great force for good in the world. Sam's reading of it adds to the whole relatability of his experiences too
