Mandemic: A Tale of a Man Who Didn't Like to Be Told What to Do

by Natasha Jones

In the Spring of 2020, as the earth continued to turn and every rotation brought with it a new day, mankind came to face a new reality, brought about by the onset of a pandemic. It was during this time that I had the realisation that a far greater pandemic was the Mandemic. The victims at the core of the Mandemic are men, working in a man’s world, where the sharing of feelings and emotions is almost unacceptable—which ultimately leads nowhere good, with isolation and feelings of loneliness permitted to flourish. It is in mind of the pressing need to nurture, protect and sustain in the wake of the Mandemic that the thirty-two habits detailed in this book have come to life. Each one is able to contribute to the forging of a new pathway; one that can be the first step on a new journey and the catalyst for positive change, enthusiasm, and renewed hope.

I picked this little book up in my Client’s office because of the great title and the idea that middle-aged men (like me!) might be struggling in the new world. Unfortunately it mostly repackages familiar self-help mantras in a series of short 32 daily habit-forming behaviours, mental, physical and meta-physical. The logic is that it takes, 'forty days to form or break a habit'. Not really news or life-changing for this middle-aged man :(
