The Invisible Ache

by Courtney B. Vance
Dr. Robin L. Smith
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
From an award-winning actor and a #1 bestselling author, a unique combination of moving memoir and practical tools that offers guidance for Black men seeking to reclaim their mental well-being–and, ultimately, to live wholeheartedly.
In America, we teach that strength means holding back tears and shaming your own feelings. In the Black community, these pressures are especially poignant. Poor mental health outcomes— including diagnoses of depression and anxiety, reliance on prescription drugs, and suicide–have skyrocketed in the past decade.
In this book, actor Courtney B. Vance seeks to change this trajectory. Along with professional expertise from famed psychologist Dr. Robin L. Smith (popularly known as “Dr. Robin”), Courtney B. Vance explores issues of grief, relationships, identity, and race through the telling of his own most formative experiences. Together, they provide a guide for Black men navigating life’s ups and downs, reclaiming  mental well-being, and examining  broken pieces to find whole, full-hearted living.
 
Self-care is an act of revolution. It’s time to revolutionize mental health in the Black community.
"A thoughtful, wise, empathetic book that has the capacity to save lives. " (Kirkus) 
"...an inspiring story of what [Black men] can achieve personally and professionally when they have the tools and support necessary to examine their pain and find their joy." (New York Journal of Books)
