Man Up!: Tales of My Delusional Self-Confidence by Ross Mathews

4.0

Ross the Intern, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno that is how I first became aware of this funny amazing human being. He was this laughing, shining man who almost floated across the stage with enthusiasm. I fell for him and watched for him everynight. He is a talented, a remarkable voice and an excellent interviewer. he is able to get 'stars' to say and do the most 'human' things.
As I read the book I was struck by how difficult his road has been. He was bullied as a child, and tried to fit in, even tried dating women. Of course that was not the way his interests headed. He always stood his ground, when confronted. I was in tears for him several times after reading about the cruelty he endured. He can sex spinach plants ! Now there is a talent few have ! LOL He grew up rural, worked farms and dreamed of more. He left home very young headed for Hollywood where his whole life started to come together.
If you love uplifting stories about underdogs making it you can't beat this book. He is an inspiration and an enjoyable humorist even among the painful bits
