About this listen

 ‘Powerful and timeless, this is a book for everyone that will kick-start honest conversations and help create real change’ – Fearne Cotton

‘This book reminds us that being vulnerable is the very gateway to deeper friendships and richer forms of flourishing. A very necessary, highly readable and relatable voice to help us to discover more liberated and creative ways of living’ – Alain de Botton

Bloomsbury presents Boys Don't Cry, written and read by Jamie Laing

When it comes to being a man, I think I’m still trying to work out how to be one I’m proud of, rather than the one society expects me to be.

Jamie Laing is still figuring it all out. And now that he’s going to be a dad, he wants to share the tools to help his child grow into a happy, thoughtful and kind person.

This is the handbook Jamie has put together for that purpose. In a world struggling to find genuine connection, Jamie wants to share his experiences of life, relationships and maturing. He takes us through his personal A-Z of growing up in today's society – from overcoming anxiety, checking in with your mates and working out what makes you happy, to embracing our failures, trying therapy and understand what it means to be a loving and present partner.

Above all, Jamie shows us that vulnerability is cool. And that boys do cry – after all, he’s done plenty of that this year.

With contributions from his wife Sophie Habboo, this book will help men and women, boys and girls have the conversation of all conversations: how to live your happiest and most resilient life in today's world. ©2025 Jamie Laing (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Fatherhood Parenting & Families Personal Development Personal Success Relationships
