Quan l'estrès va superar l'emprenedor Sangu Delle, va haver-se d'enfrontar al seu prejudici més profund: que els homes no han de cuidar de la seva salut mental. En una xerrada personal, en Delle comparteix amb nosaltres com va aprendre a gestionar l'ansietat en una societat incòmode amb les emocions. Com ell mateix diu: "Ser honest amb el que sentim no ens fa dèbils, ens fa humans".
