Brett Goldstein Makes U-Turn as He Shares Life-Changing Decision

The actor says a therapist urged him to list 10 daily gratitudes, and he says the practice helped him train his brain toward positivity.

  • British actor Brett Goldstein, 46, revealed he struggled with depression before Ted Lasso's success, crediting a gratitude journal with transforming his mental outlook. He shared his journey in Men's Health.
  • His therapist advised Goldstein to list 10 positive moments daily to combat depression. He recalled, "In the beginning, when you're so, so depressed, it's like, 'Nothing'," but the practice trained his brain to find positivity.
  • By day 30, Goldstein could list 100 things he was grateful for, marking a profound shift. He stated, "It really had changed me, built new synapses," while acknowledging he still experiences difficult periods.
  • Goldstein also discussed masculinity pressures, saying, "I definitely grew up with the feelings of, 'Men aren't supposed to show emotions'." He found vulnerability in relationships often yielded positive rather than negative results.
  • Beyond his Emmy-winning role as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, Goldstein has appeared in Shrinking and the 2024 film All Of You. He also features in Office Romance alongside Jennifer Lopez.
