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.

Everyone needs to read this

Phenomenal book, by a phenomenal human being. As a woman, this book made me understand so much - not just about men, but about our society, and the unobtainable expectations placed on everyone. It's helped me improve my relationships with the men in my life, and understand myself better. This is a must ready for anyone, whatever sex or gender you identify with. 11/10!

Masterpiece

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 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.

The man I want to be

Firstly, I am not exaggerating when I say this is the greatest book I have ever had to privilege to listen to. Justin is an amazing human and a truly wonderful man I hope that men and boys everywhere are touched by his kindness and honesty.
I have know of Justin for years now, I loved seeing him in “Jane the virgin” and in the last few years discovered the Man Enough podcast. Justin, you have got me though very hard times in my life where I didn’t have the words for my emotions. And you have guided me through being a better husband and partner to my wife. You are a role model and a teacher to me and hopefully my sons in the future.
This audio book brought me to tears multiple times, Justins writings are powerfully and kind and his voice and passion he provided throughout truly speak to me soul. I have and would recommend this to every man in my life.
Thank you for sharing your experience and being an advocate and teacher of masculinity.

Was alright

It was difficult to get through but that's probably because I needed to get through it

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.
