I Used to be a Miserable F*Ck

"Finally! A clarion call for men to crawl out of the man-cave and into the light." TIM DOWLING

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 f*ck 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 to unpack 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.

This book is self-help in a shot glass - covering all the essential topics, from vulnerability and posturing to health and relationships. It will help women understand men, and men understand themselves.

John Kim blogs as The Angry Therapist. Frowned upon in the clinical world, he continues to look for new and unconventional ways to help people. He created the Catalyst Life Coaching Course, an online life coaching certification programme, and recently he started a new platform called SHFT, an app that gives people support in their pocket when they need it and the chance to become a life coach themselves. John Kim lives in Los Angeles where he makes videos on his phone, CrossFits, and rides his motorcycle to coffee shops to do sessions.

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.
