Hey Everybody!

My little virtual tour for The Body of Chris is still underway, and I am super excited to have the book reviewed in Library Journal (click here). Here are a couple pulled quotes from the column:

"Cole tells his story with self-effacing humor and compassion..."

"Cole's simple honesty could be massively helpful for those struggling with mental illness, body issues, or almost anything."

Also, I was able to contribute to an article for Elements Behavioral Health (click here), giving advice to newly-diagnosed bipolar patients:

“Think of treatment in terms of manageability, rather than believing in ideas that you are broken. You could be far from broken — gifted creatively, spiritually, intuitively — but your beautiful mind or compassionate heart will be unsustainable without some level of stability.” — Chris Cole, author of The Body of Chris​

Thanks again for the opportunity! If you haven't yet, please leave a review on Amazon (click here) and Goodreads (click here). They are massively helpful.

In the latest development of The Body of Chris campaign, I was able to speak with Kaila Prins, host of the Finding Our Hunger Podcast. We talked about the book, discovering strength in vulnerability, men's body image issues, and society at large. We even talked about pornography and penis size insecurities. 

The episode is a long one, but definitely worth the listen. I come on after a twenty-minute intro by Kaila, so don't be confused if you don't hear from me at the start. We ended up racing through an hour of much needed dialogue around the topics presented in the book. I hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! I did an interview last night with Let's Talk Radio. I was asked about The Body of Chris and general mental health. There was even a tough question about guns and mental illness! Here's the link if you care to listen: http://bit.ly/letstalkradio

NOTE: If you want to skip ahead, my twenty minutes start at 21:05!
