**WHAT DOES MASCULINITY ADD UP TO IN THE 21ST CENTURY?** Jack Urwin traces modern ideas of masculinity from the inability of older generations to deal with the horrors of war, to the mob mentality of football terraces or *Fight Club* and the disturbing rise of mental health problems among men – especially young men – today. While we struggle with the idea that there is a single version of masculinity worth aspiring to, depression and suicide among men have reached unprecedented levels. *Man Up* looks at the challenges and pressures on men today, and suggests ways to survive.
