What happens to a man when a marriage ends — and the life, identity and future he imagined suddenly have to be rebuilt?  

THRIVE is an honest and hopeful exploration of life during and after divorce. Written from a South African perspective, Anele Matshisi examines the realities men often struggle to articulate: loss, identity, fatherhood, co-parenting, finances, faith, friendship, emotional wellbeing, new relationships and blended families.  

Neither anti-marriage nor a book about blaming women, THRIVE challenges men to take responsibility for their healing, remain present as fathers, confront difficult truths and intentionally rebuild their lives.  

For women, it offers a window into conversations men do not always know how to have.  

Ultimately, THRIVE is about more than divorce. It is about what you choose to build after something you believed would last comes to an end.
