Man Enough

From the director, executive producer, and star of IT ENDS WITH US Justin Baldoni, a gripping, deeply honest, fearless personal and societal exploration of traditional 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 on personal growth, 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, this guide to redefining masculinity 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.

In this book, Baldoni asks the questions most men are afraid to voice, exploring:

• Rethinking Masculinity: An honest look at the scripts we're taught as boys and how to find the courage to write our own.
• Vulnerability as a Strength: Why being strong enough to be sensitive and confident enough to listen is the true measure of a man.
• Challenging Conversations: A fearless dive into uncomfortable topics including body image, sex, fatherhood, gender equality, and racial justice.
• Personal Growth for Men: Baldoni shares his own deeply personal struggles, inviting readers to join him on the journey from head to heart.
