Man Enough

Growing out of his immensely popular TED talk and platform, a gripping, deeply honest, fearless personal and societal exploration of masculinity and what it means to be a man from beloved actor, director, and social activist Justin Baldoni.

With the explosion of the #MeToo movement, toxic masculinity has become one of the most prevalent social issues of our time. In this powerful, thoughtful book, Justin Baldoni reflects on his own struggles and speaks openly about taboo subjects to help create a new understanding and a system of accountability.

For Justin, it's not just about becoming better men. It's about becoming good humans. With insight and raw honesty, he explores a range of difficult, sometimes uncomfortable topics, including strength and vulnerability, female empowerment, relationships, violence and abuse, sex and sexuality, bullying, infidelity, gender equality, body image, work-life balance, and fatherhood.

Justin provides essential tools to help us 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. But men cannot do it without women's help. He implores women to have more compassion and empathy for themselves and for the men who need them. In this urgent, groundbreaking and provocative book, he challenges men to look at themselves as he reimagines what it means to be man enough.
