About this listen

From the director, executive producer, and star of IT ENDS WITH US Justin Baldoni, a gripping, deeply honest, fearless personal and societal exploration of masculinity and what it means to be a man.

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.

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!

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.

He reminds us of the good in people

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.

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.

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.
