We talk to actor Zachary Levi about his journey with mental health, hitting rock bottom and the radical love Zachary had to find in himself and the world in order to heal.

His new book, "Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others" is out now. In it Zac opens up about his struggles with anxiety and depression, the trauma he suffered from his abusive mother and the three weeks he spent at a mental health facility after having what he cheekily refers to as a "whole big fun breakdown" weeks before getting cast in "Shazam!"

New episodes every Monday 🎙️

The Man Enough Podcast is produced by Wayfarer Studios and presented by Procter and Gamble, in partnership with Cadence13, an Audacy company.

KEY QUOTES
“The first and biggest lie of the darkness, it will tell you that you are alone. It will tell you that you are uniquely broken. That there is no one and nothing that will pull you out of this. Mental health does not discriminate per sex, per skin color, per faith, per society. Mental health comes for all of us.” - Zac Lvi

“There is another level to humanity. I really think that we can get there, but it's going to require all of us laying down those swords.” - Zac Levi

“Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time.” - Justin quoting Abdu'l Bahá
