Reviews

I really appreciate the depth of vulnerability and self-reflection in Carlos book. Both around his experiences as a man and specifically as a Latinx man.
Matt McGorry

Carlos Andrs Gmez does not claim to have all the answers, but that's what's great about this book. He addresses the preconceived notions of manhood and masculinity that most people go their entire lives never questioning. Man Up is the result of a thoughtfully examined life; a book that will make us all more enlightened.
Hill Harper, author of the bestseller Letters to a Young Brother

In recent decades, America has publicly wondered what it means to be a man in this day and age. As we've languished in our search for role models, the possibilities have been an endless series of contradictions. With Man Up we finally have the modelthe manwe've been looking for.
Zach Wahls, author of the bestseller My Two Moms
