Manning Up is a hi-low book, meaning that it contains a storyline that is highly intriguing, yet is not very demanding for the reader, making it perfect for reluctant or struggling readers. (This book's publisher, West 44 Books, specializes in this audience.) Personally, I wanted something light and easy to get through, something to keep my mind at attention. I thought the book had good content, but just wanted it to be more in depth. In my opinion, it is a "just okay" read-- 2 stars. Please, however, remember that I (someone who likes longer, in-depth reads) am not the main audience for this book. Nobody should tell any man how to be a man or any woman how to be a woman (never heard anyone use the term “woman up”) yet here you are telling us that we shouldn’t be told how to act like men in one sentence and in the next you’re telling us how to behave like men.

We have pioneered the largest worldwide conversation about what it means to be a good man in the 21st century. Manning Up is a novel-in-verse and therefore very reminiscent of some Ellen Hopkins classics. I definitely would recommend this read to Hopkins' fans! I'm really glad to have found another author similar to Hopkins with gritty, raw plotlines and almost unbearably real narrators. I hope there will be more to read from Bee Walsh in the future! The only downside I have in comparing Bee Walsh to Ellen Hopkins is that Manning Up, being so much shorter than any Hopkins novel, seems more like an outline or draft in comparison. If this novel was more fleshed out it could easily have been 4 stars or higher for me.minutes ago The Avoid-Avoid Dance: Overcoming Attachment Fears for Deeper Connection The path to dismantling the avoid-avoid dance isn’t without challenges, yet the reward of a profound, more intimate relationship justifies the effort. Be Gentle: Sometimes the greatest power exists in a warm hug or soft whisper… other times, simply in a smile. The Man Box robs our sons of a lifetime of opportunities to develop their emotional capacities. Instead, they grow into emotionally isolated men who wall themselves off from the social connectivity central to healing and creating community. The resulting health effects are undeniable.

Get an Environmentally-Friendly Car (or Bike!): Break a heavy-handed male stereotype, respect planet Earth, and save money on gas. A few scenarios tend to recur where the art of managing up comes in handy. One is when an individual contributor is confronted with a decision with which they don’t agree, be it a team restructuring or a feature they believe is unnecessary. Now, we risk stereotyping when leaning too heavily on the perception of developers as apolitical Vulcans, driven by logic and unskilled or uninterested in managing interpersonal relationships. But Hays said, in his experience, that this tendency does indeed play out frequently.As Abbajay sees it, managing up is a three-step process: getting a sense of your boss’s work style and concerns, getting a sense of the same for yourself, and either making reasonable adjustment requests of your boss or realigning your own style to get better in sync. Each step, Abbajay stressed, should be done without casting judgment.
