About this Event
About the book:
Sunday Times journalist Matt Rudd spent two years interviewing men in their thirties, forties, and fifties about why so many of them are quietly miserable. The result is funny, honest, and frequently surprising, covering work, marriage, friendship, fatherhood, and mental health. Turns out the system set up by men for men doesn't work for men either. It is making none of us happy.
Why we chose it: "This is the most honest, most revealing — and funniest — exploration of male mental health I have ever read." - Adam Kay, bestselling author of This Is Going to Hurt
Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your host for the evening: Jen Kaarlo Mendenhall
Writer, cultural storyteller, and longtime Rebel Book Club member, Jen explores ideas through the lenses of solo travel, reinvention after 40, and modern dating. Having lived in New York, London, and now Denver, she is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where curious minds connect over delicious books, discover new perspectives, and engage in conversations that linger long after the final page.
Biggest RBC impact: "One Rebel Book Club evening that has stayed with me all these years was a conversation with award-winning journalist Isobel Yeung, then at VICE, around In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin. I was admittedly a little starstruck, but even more moved by how she used her voice to bring important stories to light, stories that truly deserved to be seen. The room was filled with curious minds, giving the discussion an electric energy that perfectly captured what Rebel Book Club does so well: bringing thoughtful people together to listen, reflect, and see the world a little differently."
