The Man Inside Me is a deeply probing and strikingly penetrating account of one man's struggle to truly know not only himself, but the man inside himself.

Through a series of divulgent anecdotes, Fünke plumbs the dark depths of his psyche, recounting his family's struggle with addiction while touring in a pharmaceutically-themed folk music act, and exploring to his own ongoing battle with never-nudity.

When I started this book, I just couldn't get out of my shell. You could say I just couldn't suck it up. But after reading this book, I just blue myself! This book will feel like it is packing your mouth with so much ice cream, you'll be the envy of every Jerry and Jane on the block. It made me realize their are dozens of us, literally dozens!

When I first saw the Man inside of me, I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit, but I guess you could say I was a little buy curious. I can't thank Dr. Tobias enough for truly opening up and let me come inside. His journey help me discover that I too have a man inside of me and sometimes I just need to suck it up

A stroke of brilliance. Dr. Fünke has concocted a wonderful look deep inside the cavity of his mind to discover the man inside him. The tight grip keeping the man inside proves to be a difficult one for him to release and each thrust into the trenches only brings him to darker and darker reaches. I highly recommend you join me and come inside Dr. Fünke for this wonderful journey of self-discovery.

Though the book was a lot to take in, it filled me up with an intense desire find myself and also find the strength to swallow my insecurities. I reached around to my fellow man, gave him a good tug and said, "There's no reason to be blue any more."

Let me take off my assistant's skirt and put on my Barbra-Streisand-in-The-Prince-of-Tides ass-masking therapist pantsuit.

Tobias, you blowhard!

I wouldn't mind kissing this man between the cheeks. I know I'm not the only one, there are dozens of us. Dozens!

Eh

I have no clue why I spent $2.99 on a two page kindle book that’s just filled with Tobias quotes that we’ve already seen on Arrested Development. But, hey! We’re in quarantine and I love Tobias, so five stars to The Man Inside Me!

Una lectura penetrante e incisiva. Funke es la agonizante y angustiada (aunque de alguna manera alegre) voz de una generacion en suspenso. Como toda experiencia de lectura vivencial al principio cuesta trabajo abrirse paso en la maraña de referencias y problemas de Funke, pero conforme nos internamos en sus páginas uno parece simplemente deslizarse y avanzar sobre la nítida y ajustada prosa del libro. El autor no ofrece ningún tipo de concesiones al lector, muchas veces en medio de un capítulo intenso es necesario cerrar el libro y tomar aire antes de volver a sumergirse entre sus páginas.

Tobias Funke nos enseña que, de vez en cuando, todos podemos tener un hombre dentro de nosotros también.

A challenging read, but with a great payoff. I felt stretched to my max by the end of every chapter, but Fünke somehow always managed to pack more into me, just when I thought I had enough.

A definitive success in the psych genre.

I am so grateful that Dr. Fünke finally took off his acting pants for a moment and pulled his analrapist stocking over his head for long enough to write this book. Don't forget, it also comes with bangers in the mouth. Oh, I forgot, here in the states it's sausage in the mouth.

You not going to understand after the first time you read it. After a couple times you begin to feel the man inside you push and pull to get out. I now feel the man inside coming from within, and it’s breathtaking.

the only thing I could say when I put this book down after waiting so long to read it was, I've made a huge mistake. I should have read this years ago! it came across me, Awakening things deep, deep inside me.
