Hello

I’m Sam and I’m a journalist and editor for GQ, the Guardian, Observer and some other places. I write about culture, lifestyle and increasingly in recent years, wellbeing and mental health.

Next year I’ll be publishing my first book, Good Anger, with Bloomsbury. It’s an investigation into the ‘other’ anger problem: why we’re so often taught to suppress or deny it and the price we pay when we do.

Ahead of its release, I’ll be using this Substack to share stuff I’ve discovered from the world of emotional science, psychology and no-BS end of wellness culture. This will include ideas from amazing authors, scientists and thinkers I have discovered in the course of researching my book.

I’ll also be musing a bit on journalism, the media and writing. So if you’re interested in any of above, please sign up.

Thank you.
