The book is an easy read. The narrative of Terry’s story keeps you engaged as you travel through his life escaping Flint, MI as a teenager. Then the book travels through playing football and his escaping from the traditional role models of being a man.

Terry speaks about not being the strong silent type... not being the Marlboro Man. When a man's man speaks about vulnerability, men listen. The model of strength and courage while being open and standing in integrity is new for most men. I encourage both men and women to read Terry’s book for the entertainment and for the direction it gives.
If this planet is to change, men need to step up in a new way, a way that few men ever saw. I wish Terry great success with this book. He’s doing a big service for men and all those that love them.

Loved this book! Such a good read! I seriously couldn't put it down. Manhood isn't just for the men, the life lessons and experiences have totally spoken to me. One of my favorite quotes from the book is- Every man has 3 things in them: a fool, a victim, and a king. Whichever you feed is the one you become. This book has so much heart and soul and the reader can take so much away from it to use in everyday life to aid you in becoming the best version of yourself. It also gives you a better understanding as to what the men in your life may be going through. All around great book, I definitely recommend this read!

This book talks about struggle that almost every man deals with. It's not a self help book in the sense that it has 5 ways to be a better man but it does have lots of stories that teach lessons like working hard, keeping your head down and keep going, accept help from others, get a mentor, spend within your means, be truthful and honest with your family, say sorry to people you wronged, admit mistakes, forgive those who hurt you and try to understand them, indiscretions big or small hurt your relationships, being thankful for what you have, do a good job even when no one is watching, be the best at what you do and more. Terry Crews even talks about his insecurities as a man which you would not think a man like him would have. I am so thankful for this book and would love to sit down and talk to Terry Crews someday and learn more about him and how he grew up to be a good man.

Terry Crews describes the problems he faced in life with good insight humor and honesty. He got to that point only after many failures, struggles, self assessment, introspection, religion/faith/spirituality and help from psychologists. He was raised in a family where his parents constantly fought and his father beat his mother. He used education and a football scholarship to escape Flint but then could not make it on 6 NFL teams so he moved to Los Angeles to try to use is creative talents (drawing, script writing) to get involved in the movie industry. He lucked out in getting an audition, that a friend told him about, by being fit and athletic. After a sexual indiscretion, and the threat of divorce from his wife, Rebecca, of over 20 years, he went through the process of self discovery, and realized he had been manipulative, non-empathetic, and totally narcissistic in his dealings with people. He describes an incident in which he took an online psychological assessment and realized he was narcissistic. He ran downstairs and told his wife and daughter he discovered he was narcissistic and his wife said: "Ya Think?" Crews says that most of his good decisions were made when he listened to Rebecca. After reading this book I watched Expendables 2, White Chicks, and Idiocracy. Crews has good screen presence especially when given creative space in the comedies. Idiocracy is actually a movie everyone should watch because of the political statement it makes.

The last few days I've been devouring a book by one of my favorite comedic actors, "Manhood" by Terry Crews. You know Terry Crews. The Old Spice guy, The Expendables, White Chicks, Everyone Hates Chris, Idiocracy, Brooklyn 99 and many other films and television shows. He was also in the NFL.

I've always liked him since seeing him in the films 'Idiocracy' and 'White Chicks'

Every time after White Chicks an Old Spice commercial would air I'd point at the screen and say, 'Hey! It's that guy!' before I finally figured out his name and followed him on Facebook. He always seems to post very upbeat and positive messages on his time line and being that I'm something of a smartass I like some positivity to counteract my own sarcasm. Plus he makes me laugh and I love to laugh.

The man makes me laugh and inspires me in my workouts. So when he came out with a book titled "Manhood" - an autobiographical journey to his own manhood I could not resist. I figured the book would be about his awesome life as a popular kid/sports hero in school leading to a college scholarship followed by the NFL, scads of moolah and Hollywood. I guessed very wrong.

Terry says early on in the book that he thought about titling it "My Life as a Jerk" and that might have been a fitting title for some of it. He had the entire 'I am The Greatest' entitlement issues of a former NFLer I got to experience first hand in my college years when I went on a series of dates with a former member of the Atlanta Falcons NFL team. Three dates exactly.

How jerky was the former Falcon? Third date he tried to take me to the Motel 6, telling me everyone puts out on the third date and I was hopelessly old fashioned if I thought otherwise.
