Audiobook

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.

      Listeners who know Justin Baldoni from his role as the hot and sensitive Rafael in the acclaimed TV series "Jane the Virgin" will get to know the actor in a deeper way as he "undefines" masculinity in this audiobook. In doing so, the actor takes on gender equality, marriage, racism, fatherhood, sex, vulnerability, and more. He acknowledges the discomforts of masculinity and shares his personal journey, which is full of universal questions. Baldoni's delivery underlines every emotion. He chuckles to himself as he recalls a time he reasoned away his instincts, caving to peer pressure. His voice lowers with disappointment at his past behavior and becomes small as he shares an embarrassing memory. He sets his intention early on for the audiobook to feel like a conversation between friends, and he achieves it. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
