Boy Meets Depression by Kevin Breel

Boy Meets Depression by Kevin Breel

Note to Self: When you feel f&*ed up: Stop. Breathe. Talk to someone. Tell them stuff. Stop being an asshole and thinking you're going to get through it alone. Problems are like broken pipes: they need a person to fix them. Oh, and clean your room, you filthy animal.

Kevin Breel burst into the public's awareness when at 19 his TED talk became a worldwide phenomenon. Through the lens of his own near suicide, he shared his profoundly vulnerable story of being young, male and depressed in a culture that has no place for that. BOY METS DEPRESION is a book that explores what it means to struggle and tells an honest, heartfelt story about how a meaningful life isn't found in perfection, it's found in our ability to heal and accept the dark parts of ourselves.

Kevin Breel is a writer, comedian, and mental health advocate. NBC, CBS, the Huffington Post, MTV, CNN, The Today Show, Mashable, and the Wall Street Journal have all featured his work. His TEDx lecture, Confessions of a Sad Comedian, went viral almost immediately, attracting millions of views and being broadcast in over 200 media sources. The Huffington Post termed the discussion wonderful, while Mashable dubbed it one of the moments that drew the globe together. He's performed as a comedian at a variety of venues across the world, including the House of Blues, Rogers Arena, and the ancient Colosseum. He's a national spokesperson for the Bell Let's Talk campaign and has spoken at Ivy League institutions and billion-dollar corporations as a mental health activist.
