Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity by Justin Baldoni

calebmatthews's review against another edition

4.0

The discussion of Man Enough was engaging! It was amazing to get to have Justin Baldoni join us for the discussion! We discussed privilege, sexuality, self-image, who this book was for, and ultimately the idea of being "enough".

Rating it highly mostly bc of how brave and vulnerable it was. I might have appreciated it more if I was a guy

Echoing a few other reviews. Justin seems like an incredible person that does a lot of amazing work, unfortunately this book missed the mark in a big way for me. At times felt very long-winded and read more like a memoir than anything. 

I'm glad this book exists, and am sure it it super beneficial to many people, but it didn't live to my expectations, and if you're after something that feels like a bit more than just "an intro to masculinity" or someone's personal diary entries, then it might not be for you.

A very raw, emotional, vulnerable and powerful book. I listened to the audiobook and there were several moments where I can't help but get teary with the raw emotion and vulnerability that Justin showed while reading the book. His honesty gives me insights of how men react to vulnerable situations, and how these can ruin relationships or build stronger bridges. If there is one book every guy should read, it's probably this.

It broke my heart watching school crush boys into a toxic, narrow definition of what they could be. At my house they were safe, but we need to change society. This book can help define the problem and fix the disconnect between boy's heads and their hearts.
