You're not alone. Mental ill health impacts one in four people every year, and professionals in high-pressure jobs are especially vulnerable.

An open, very honest account of mental health struggles in the workplace. Well written, open and very, very frank. A good read. highly recommend. * Amazon.co.uk *
A very humorous perspective on a very serious subject told in an engaging way. This book is not just for those struggling with living in a difficult world but for everyone that manages and interacts with people. Andy manages to use his experience to give advice to those who may be suffering with mental health issues but also to those who maybe don't know how to deal with friends and colleagues who are in this position. Overall, a really well written, engaging and honest account. * amazon.co.uk *
Working in accountancy I can relate to many things in this book. Never looked at it from the perspective that Andy portrays. I found this book funny, insightful and a very addictive read. A must read for anyone thinking of going down the same path. But if you are completely free of this world you'll still get a lot from this book. Honest and open and picked me up massively when things got difficult in lockdown. * amazon.co.uk *
'This book is not forced, its not as polished as others, its raw and REAL, and doesn't succumb to the mainstream mental health books - its a few quid and a few hours of your time - honestly, just grab it, it could change your life' * amazon.co.uk *
