Story
Have you ever noticed that there are unwritten rules that tell boys how to act, think, and feel? Nobody knows where they came from, but one day—BAM!—you suddenly feel these invisible forces, pushing you to follow the rules of masculinity, even if they don’t make you happy. This book isn’t about learning the rules of the boys’ club, it’s about UNLEARNING them.

Story
Lewis Howes grew up as an athlete. He was a two-sport All-American and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast, The School of Greatness, into a global phenomenon. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a “Soul Boom” in order to address today’s greatest issues—mental health, racism and sexism, climate change, and economic injustice.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men.

In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Interview: Justin Baldoni Undefines What It Means to Be 'Man Enough'
Publisher's Summary
A gripping, fearless exploration of masculinity
The effects of traditionally defined masculinity have become one of the most prevalent social issues of our time. In this engaging and provocative new book, beloved actor, director, and social activist Justin Baldoni reflects on his own struggles with masculinity. With insight and honesty, he explores a range of difficult, sometimes uncomfortable topics including strength and vulnerability, relationships and marriage, body image, sex and sexuality, racial justice, gender equality, and fatherhood.
Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we’ve learned since childhood and the roles we are expected to play. He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen. Encouraging men to dig deep within themselves, Justin helps us reimagine what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.

Politically motivated
This book had a brilliant opportunity to help a lot of people that desperately need it. With its constant virtue signaling and preaching about white guilt, that message is lost. He is unapologetically apologetic for being born a cis gender white man...something no one can do anything about. I'm asking for a refund...unfortunately I can't be reimbursed for the time I wasted listening to 6 of theb12 hours of the political rant that was supposed to about men getting in touch with their emotions.

Stop reading my review and START READING HIS BOOK
Breathtaking. I’m grateful that audible allows you to speed up the recording, because I just couldn’t eat this book up fast enough! I felt transformed into a way of thinking that, as a woman, I had no idea existed. I’ve always been hard hearted towards men that don’t show up emotionally, but hearing Justin’s memoirs taught me that under every man’s armor, there is a little boy in there longing to be loved. As someone who’s grown up in a household of self-sufficient women, it’s refreshing to hear Baldoni’s perspective on the value that women offer this world, without his intention being to belittle or undermine the male gender as a whole. We can all do better at loving ourselves and loving others. This book is a safe space to learn, ponder, and humbly decide what we as individuals can do to become the best versions of ourselves from the inside out. Now seriously, stop looking at reviews and download the dang book!! You won’t regret it.

Honest, brave, and timely.
Man Enough is honest, brave, and timely. This exploration of masculinity tackles body image, shame, insecurities, and a myriad of other topics that boys and men are traditionally discouraged from talking about. This book helps make space for understanding, empathy, honest conversation and the idea that you are enough. It is a must read.

IMPACTFUL & ENLIGHTENING
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity by Justin Baldoni is a book that benefits all, not just men.
If you have males that you love and care about in your life, they need to read this book. Whether they are in high school, college, newlywed, or beyond; please get a copy of this book in their hands and encourage them to read and absorb these words.
As a mother to two sons I have often found myself at a loss for words or understanding when it comes to their ever evolving physical and emotional needs, wants, and turmoils; but in Justin's book he shines light on the fact that really, men aren't so different from women. Not when you truly look beyond all the layers of how society has told them them to think, feel, and act.
This book isn't about tearing down masculinity. It's about giving boys and young men the "okay" and support to truly be who they are inherently at their core; human. To lift them up and give them courage to say screw the narrative forced upon generations before them and truly believe that they are enough just as they are. That we are all enough.
I listened to this book via audio and felt Justin did a fantastic job. You can feel how much these words mean to him and the personal stories allow for an easily relatable read, no matter your gender.
My 14 year old son is currently reading my physical copy of the book and I plan on buying a copy for him to have so that he may visit these words in the future as he continues to mature into the man he will one day become. He is taking it in slowly, giving himself time to digest all the wonderful morsels and says that thus far he is really enjoying it.
I will be getting a third copy for my other son as well, but at just 9 years of age he still has a little while before I suggest that he reads it. In the meantime, I will take what I have read and make an effort to be more mindful of the narrative that I put forth to him of what it means to be man enough.

More than a book
Justin has done the work. Let me clarify, Justin has taken surrendered the idea of following the traditional social norms of being a man, and has invited his fellow peers to search for answers to what’s it like to be a man. This book isn’t one that tells you you have to this a specific way. Honestly he could have called it “Why man?” Asking why is a common theme throughout the book and although it seems simple, it’s what helped him guide his head to his heart. There are too many priceless points to share and ones I most likely missed my first time through, so I’m here to tell you to take the leap and listen to the human experience. Now allow me to start the book over :)

hmmm - on the fence
The message is clear, strong and concise. it is also refreshing to hear someone who was seemingly part of the "in crowd," reveal himself so honestly.
At the same time, it is difficult to connect emotionally to the ideas put forward in this book, and to absorb them with Baldoni's intention. He does admit: he is proud of being a man ( as am I ) and also struggled with the fact that men approve other men for inclusion into the "real man club." - All well and good...yet something is amiss - and none of this is Baldoni's fault:
He is charismatic, good looking, talented, in a loving relationship, has a family, has a career that makes him well known - and with all of that comes: Wow - you've got it made - what are you ultimately complaining about? Insecurity? join the club, not being taken seriously? - isn't that by product of the industry?
I guess I do not know what I was hoping for and I recognize that no matter a person's status, wealth, history, etc - we all have a story to tell. I suppose at this time, in this moment - it feels perhaps pouty? YES - it can on one hand be comforting to hear how a great, all-around guy struggles with the same things we all do - at the same time - I am not certain that the compassion can be well-received because in the end, when anyone examines the nuts and bolts of Baldoni's outside life - we see the opposite end of what the book asserts.

Not my cup of tea - Religious content
I bought this audiobook because I was interested in expanding my knowledge of the effects of traditionally defined masculinity in society. Even though it started well with some good examples of his personal life and some scientific research, unfortunately, Justin Baldoni scratches only the surface of the subject and insists in referring to his personal religious beliefs and quotes to get any point across. The religious monologue goes to new highlights when he talks about him finding his family in after life paradise and living happily ever after! Really?? This is almost an insult to my intelligence. For someone who was seeking to deep scientific explanations of the subject I was very disappointed and would not recommend.

Wow, wow, wow. This is a beautiful soul bearing book. That is although written in the perspective of Justin applies to every man out there, in a deep unwritten levels until now. You have given the light for every man to look into themselves and every woman the understanding on the masculine pressures we face that for so long as been unwritten. If you never another book, just know this is golden. Thank you. For the readers get this book because the feelings you get listening to this audio book is incompatible. £7.99 buy it.

A rare glimpse into what it means to be a man
From a woman's perspective this is a rare glimpse into what it means to be a man and to grow up as one. We are surrounded by messaging and debates on what it means to be a woman, by feminist battles/issues/discourse, and I feel like I was lacking some of the context other side of the binary. This book gave me a first rare glimpse into manhood and I feel like it's helped me understand the men in my life better.

A must read for everyone!
An incredible book. Listening to the author read it so enthusiastically and emotionally makes the book even more special and powerful. This book really makes you think about yourself, society, social norms and so much more. It cover and looks at so many thing that we do not talk about or discuss enough. It also reminds you that you are enough as you are.

He reminds us of the good in people
This book is insightful, profound, real, brave, and heartwarming. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone, regardless of gender, because Justin shares an important analysis of the human experience through his own battles. I was so sad to finish it so soon, and will definitely read it again. Amazing work.

Deep. Real deep.
I had high expectations for this book after watching Justin's pre-launch interviews. In a way, the book wasn't what I expected. But maybe that's because I'm not a man? I really loved some of the chapters but lost interest over a few too. As I said, he goes deep, really deep into issues associated with masculinity and perhaps I lost interest a but because it was not relevant to me? Overall I WOULD recommend this book to others. Men AND women need to hear this book and decide for themselves, what does it mean to BE A MAN? Love you Justin.

Redefine manhood and transform yourself!
I was first drawn to this book by Justin’s TEDx talk and then his podcast, Man Enough. You can be a daily listener of his podcast and still get waves of deep understanding from reading this book and knowing his personal journey.
As an alpha woman in business and relationships, I typically attract very feminine men. I mean this in terms of men who are emotive but struggle with expressing, identifying those emotions and having a safe space to explore their emotions as an integral part of their identity. I never knew until now how easily hurt a man can be, but not show it. As an inquisitive, observant and empathetic woman I can see it, and I have been having conversations with many men throughout my life around this twisted and complex notion of masculinity. I struggled for many years on how to have these conversations, and I think from now on, I’ll just direct them to this book haha
This book shows how not only men can grow and become the strongest versions of themselves in every aspect of their identity, but also how women can nurture and care for this development which seems to happen much later in men.
This should be standard reading and I cannot praise this book enough and the courage Justin had to have to manifest this forth. Hand on heart, I endeavour to build all the men in my life up to their greatest potential, knowing there are resources like this out there that I can fall back on. Thank you Justin for pushing through your insecurities and fears for this book. It truely is incredible!

An enjoyable and thought-provoking listen
An honest and refreshing read that firstly explores (and then challenges) the expectations that men force on themselves to be 'enough'. Expectations that lead to isolation, insecurity, false-bravado, and overcompensation.
It's important to note that this book is not about discouraging masculinity, or beating-up on men, or generally virtue signalling. It's actually a book for men... that essentially says 'hey, all that stuff you don't talk about in case you seem less manly... yeah, we all do that... maybe give talking about it a try sometime'.
Justin discusses these topics with humour, insight, and a hearty helping of personal examples; and I found myself relating to a lot of his topics and examples on a deep level. I listened to the audiobook, at it was very much like having an honest conversation with a friend over a beer.
There were parts of the book that weren't for me - particularly some of the faith-based discussion; but these didn't detract from Justin's core messages.
Overall, an enjoyable and thought-provoking listen.

Must read for all men from puberty into adulthood
This book talks about delicate topics, makes you question your own manhood and how you define masculinity. It is very well written and even better read. You can hear his emotion when talking about his wife and kids or when he feels deeply passionate about the subject, or when he feels vulnerable.
Throw away your doubts about this book and do yourself a favour.

Man Enough
Thank you Justin for this wonderful insight of what it is like to be Man Enough. I have 2 teenage boys who I am raising and I can’t thank you enough for the raw insight of how to help them to believe in themselves and they are ENOUGH as they are!
Thank you from New Zealand. Love to you and your family. X

Have you ever noticed that there are unwritten rules that tell boys how to act, think, and feel? Nobody knows where they came from, but one day—BAM!—you suddenly feel these invisible forces, pushing you to follow the rules of masculinity, even if they don’t make you happy. This book isn’t about learning the rules of the boys’ club, it’s about UNLEARNING them.

Story
Lewis Howes grew up as an athlete. He was a two-sport All-American and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast, The School of Greatness, into a global phenomenon. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough.

Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, Beyond the Gender Binary, Alok Vaid-Menon challenges the world to see gender not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, they show us that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression. The only limit is your imagination.
