I’m almost done reading Terrence Real’s I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, Overcoming The Secret Legacy of Male Depression . . . Surprising where inspiration finds you sometimes, isn’t it?

Real’s book is filled with fascinating insights about the human psyche. I’ve been reading it on the train with a yellow highlighter in hand, and I keep thinking about you authors out there: this is invaluable if you’re writing male characters with any depth.
