Andy Roy – author of Raising Teenage Boys
With male suicide rates at alarming levels, men today struggle to define what it truly means to be a ‘man.’ Through my own journey of self-discovery, I offer insights to help others navigate their inner world, reclaim their authentic selves and live a happier, more fulfilling life.
“Man Unplugged – Secret Men’s Business For Men & Those Who Love Them“ is a raw and deeply personal exploration of my own unravelling, backed by the wisdom of mentors, sages, and healers. This book distils hard-won lessons into an accessible, relatable guide for every man ready to reclaim his true self.
I once believed that having a good job, financial security, and social status meant success. But when I lost everything, I realised I had been sleepwalking through life, disconnected from my Heart.
At rock bottom, I met a mentor who helped me break free from society’s rigid definitions of masculinity.
I unwittingly became a man … unplugged.
This book shares the lessons, tools, and practices that transformed my life, so you, too, can step into confidence, authenticity, and a life filled with purpose.
