Meet Guy Giard, a contributing writer for the book "Guts, Grit & The Grind: A MENtal Mechanics Manual - Advanced Mechanics In Preventative Maintenance". This is book #2 in a series of 4. Described as a combination of "Chicken Soup For The Soul" & a therapist workbook. Available now wherever you get your books. Guy is one of 18 men who contributed stories for this book. He tells us about his incredible journey of post-traumatic growth that led him to be a part of this very special book series. Guts, Grit & The Grind Storytelling matters because it helps men realize they are not alone. It also helps the storyteller. Men want an opportunity to learn about how other men got through hard times so they can figure out how to "fix themselves." The auto maintenance and repair concepts help men connect the dots regarding their mental health.
