About this title

Synopsis

"A great book… fizzing with your voice, your heart and your soul… perfectly pitched… a cracking read." – Chris Evans, Virgin Radio Breakfast Show

A brutally honest and unexpectedly funny guide to surviving mental health struggles — from a pie-loving bloke who once thought yoga, mindfulness, and meditation weren’t for “people like him.”

Mark Grimes isn’t a therapist. He’s a working-class husband, dad, nerd, and long-time sufferer of depression, stress, ADHD, and anxiety. He’s learned the hard way how to stay afloat when your brain feels like a badly wired fuse box — and in The Pie Eating Man’s Guide to a Healthy Mind, he shares exactly what’s helped him.

With humour, raw honesty, and no “woo-woo,” this book offers practical tools, relatable stories, and a no-nonsense path to better mental wellbeing — whether you’re struggling yourself or supporting someone who is.

Inside you’ll find:

• A bloke-friendly breakdown of common mental health issues.

• Real-life coping strategies you can actually use.

• Worksheets and prompts to support reflection and action.

• Gentle encouragement to step outside your comfort zone.

If you’re tired of self-help books that feel like lectures or spiritual retreats, this is the guide for you. Mental health is for everyone — even if you eat pies, drink beer, and don’t own a kaftan.

For fans of Matt Haig, Bryony Gordon, or anyone who needs a straight-talking mental health book that feels like a chat with a mate. Accessible, heartfelt, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a call to action for open dialogue and self-acceptance.

From breaking down the stigma around men’s mental health to tackling taboo topics like toxic masculinity and menopause, Mark delivers a book that’s as warm and relatable as it is practical. Take it one step, one page, one bite at a time — your mental health matters.
