Description

We live in a super-connected world, yet men specifically, struggle to connect and share. This is changing... but not quickly enough. Award winning podcaster Alex Holmes sets out to accelerate this shift, debunking lingering myths around masculinity, love and connection by exploring what causes this sense of loneliness.

Starting with 'Real Man Myths' and features designed to encourage us to open up and share, Alex motivates us to move from:

  • Ignoring to Acknowledging
  • Being Closed to Opening Up
  • Can't to Can
  • Avoiding to Embracing
  • Expecting to Accepting

Sharing his experiences on his podcast and as a young British black man, Time to Talk is a love letter to all the men who have lost their way

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
