Man Up!: Tales of My Delusional Self-Confidence

Love his books. Warm and funny. Light fluff reading to relax and smile by.

I just love Ross Mathews! He's so genuine, interesting, tells a good story and oh boy is he hilarious!

I saw Ross Matthews on a recent morning show publicizing his book - it sounded interesting, so when Amazon offered the Kindle version on a great special, I eagerly purchased it and read it and readers, I was not disappointed. Ross grew up in northwest USA and gives a great intro on life in a smallish town surrounded by rural areas and farming communities. I enjoyed hearing about his childhood and adolescent and his fortunate journey as an intern at the Tonight show. He is upbeat and honest, doesn't have a bad word to say about most people, and lets the reader in on his struggles with people who are not as kind as he is or who look at life with less generosity in their hearts than he has in his. I enjoyed his adventures, his humor, his family. If he writes another book, I would probably read it. I enjoyed this peak into another life a continent away from mine, a generation away from mine. His happiness leaps off the page and into the reader.

I have been a fan of Ross for a while now. His career has been such a success story. It is so fun to watch someone that is so "guy next door" have such a career. His interactions with celebrities during interviews is how I picture I would be if I ever met a star. The energy and joy and pure love for his job is contagious.I especially enjoyed reading about his Mom's unconditional love for her son. I hope he can write another book or story and have more about his Mom included. She seems like the sort of Mom we can all cheer for. So great to see a nice guy do well.I am saving this book and if I ever have a "down in the dumps" day I am going to drag it out and start reading, because I know it will always cheer me up. Go Ross!

I fell in love with Ross when I first saw him at the round table on Chelsea Lately, he so genuine, kind, FUNNY, humble and just himself and this is exactly what he shows in his book. There should be more people like Ross in the world becuase he really makes this world a better place. His books is one of those books that makes you forget about your problems, and will make you laugh while you read every single page, by the end of the book you will LOVE LOVE LOVE Ross. If you ever read this Ross I just want to tell you that you achieved your dreams because in the same way you look up to Oprah I look up to you and admire how you Man Up :) in every single situation in your life and you are still yourself. you are one of the funniest people on TV you make me love comedy even more. I went to see you in DC and I couldnt stop laughing.

As soon as I heard Ross Mathews was coming out with his first book, I knew I had to have it. The genuine, kind, and effervescent onscreen personality that radiates from the television is prevalent throughout this collection of stories and events in his life. It is a fun, quick read that will have you smiling and laughing aloud to yourself, causing others around you to wonder what could possibly be so amusing. You will find Ross' signature style of humor and wit in this book, along with some truly touching moments - from his coming out to his closest friend and parents, to the times he spent as a child with his father. I enjoyed this book more than the couple I've read by Chelsea, just because it made me feel happy as I read it. Kind of like how I always like Chelsea Lately a little more when Ross is the host! But I digress. If you like Ross Mathews, then you will not be disappointed with this book :)

If you have ever heard Ross' voice and read this book, you will be laughing the whole time!Just the right book for lifting your spirits during lockdown/CovidRoss is so wonderfully bright and articulate and a laugh riot.Going to download his other book right now.See you in Palm Springs for sure!

Ross comes across superficially as fluffy and a little lightweight, but that's far from the truth. He's actually a very strong individual who's managed to maintain a pretty positive outlook on life in spite of several hurdles along the way.This book is a charming, candid, funny read and very well written to boot. You find that you actually hope that you have become Ross' best friend as a result of reading it, as he sounds like a fine friend to have. What looks to have been good fortune and chance encounters is in reality more a product of being true to himself, keen to work, and charming. Ross was in the right place at the right time because he wanted to be; he was given opportunities because he deserved them - he's smart, witty and very much himself, and this comes across in his writing.

This is a great book about a very funny sweet and charming guy that we don't know about I the uk. I highly recommend

Fabulous read, couldn’t put it down. Arrived quickly

It was nice to have an insight on funny Ross Matthews life, and imagining his voice reading the book for me. But it gets old quite soon and the last chapters were definitely less interesting than the first ones.

Ross' first book is hilarious! Found myself laughing out loud, by myself and wasn't embarassed by it at all! Ross has a unique outlook on life and his honesty is refreshing. I would recommend this book to anyone that needs a good laugh!

I loved this book. It was a great vacation read. Thoughtful and heartwarming. Ross is a true icon.
