Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Essential reading for men of all ages' CALEB FEMI

Someone once asked me how I'd want to be remembered. I said, 'As the boy who grew.'

Diagnosed twice with ADHD, Jordan Stephens spent his teens and twenties navigating career success and deep friendships alongside self-harm, hedonism, and destructive coping mechanisms. When his world collapsed under the weight of his own expectations, he stepped away to confront the pain he had long repressed.

By examining the fear, tenderness, and trauma within himself, and challenging societal ideas of masculinity, Stephens explores what it means to be a modern man, the importance of vulnerability, and why the price of love is always worth it.
