About this listen

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.

A MUST-READ for men and women!

I want to thank you, Justin, for your vulnerability in sharing your heart with us. You discussed things that most men wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. My hope is that because you did, more men will be willing to do so as well. I learned so much about men and how y'all think and why you behave the way you do. I'm so grateful that you read this audiobook yourself. No one else could have done it justice.

Absolutely LOVE IT!

Im about half way and I love it... As a mother of two boys, it has certainly helped me better understand them. Thank you Justin Baldoni for taking our blind folds off.

Fantastic Read

I have been a fan of Justin Baldoni since watching Jane the Virgin. After listening to entire audiobook of Man Enough I will forever be a fan of his.

I appreciate his candor, vulnerability and most of all his ability to support women as a man. I truly appreciate his ways of thinking and completely enjoyed this book.

Read it, then read it again.

Loved this book! Appreciate you taking us on this journey and being so vulnerable. Many are only brave in the comments, unlike yourself. Thanks again.

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.
