Broken Soul was written as a way of starting important conversations about men and men's mental health. Both authors of this book are middle aged family men, immigrants, and People of Colour. This intersectionality adds another level of complexity and richness to the dialogue. They have both struggled with finding balance between their own cultural norms and Canadian societal standards. It highlights an aspect of midlife mental health that many men struggle to speak openly about.

This short story was written for the men who relate to the experience, the families who recognize the changes, and the partners who support them. Often we feel it is unmanly to show vulnerability or weakness. While some part of us may know that this makes no sense emotionally, physiologically or logically, we still believe it. It's been drilled into us by our parents, our peers and society at large for as long as we can remember. As teens, we created a bubble inside us and compartmentalize those feelings. And over time, that bubble solidified was we became hardened into less than emotional beings.
