Summary
A much-needed reminder about what it means to be truly human in a world where people feel increasingly disconnected from each other and from God， by the popular author of Enter Wild。
"Carlos has created an antidote to what ails us。"--New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff
These are crazy times， people。 We are more agitated than ever。 We're fighting。 Wrestling with big issues。 Less connected than ever to one another and to God。 It's a perfect storm: debilitating anxiety， crashing relationships， and forgetting what it feels like to， well， be human。
In How to Human， author， speaker， and social-media personality Carlos Whittaker offers a fresh vision for becoming the best versions of ourselves。 We can refuse to let disagreements define us。 We can say no to becoming upset， rage-filled humans and say yes to fuller， happier lives。 It begins as we make the shift from "me" to "we" to "everybody" in a three-part journey to be human， see fellow humans， and free those around us。
You'll think， laugh， and be inspired by this practical guide， which reveals how to help others， how to hope fiercely， and how to experience the thrill of being fully human。 Carlos describes a radical path of love--one that requires us to become builders rather than demolitionists。 One that gets personal。 One that moves toward others in faith rather than away in fear。 One that， when times get crazy， is willing to get crazier （in a good way）。 One that understands the big joy of how to human。

Have you ever read a book and then immediately bought the audible because you knew you NEEDED to hear it too？！ This book， if utilized， is ACTUALLY life changing， better yet， it’s LIFE GIVING。 How to Human will make you laugh， make you cry， make you question what you thought you knew/believed， confirm what you believe and open your heart and mind to at least listen to the opposing side。 You’ll learn to walk with people instead of stand on issues， be a builder of empathy and if you’re like me， you Have you ever read a book and then immediately bought the audible because you knew you NEEDED to hear it too？！ This book， if utilized， is ACTUALLY life changing， better yet， it’s LIFE GIVING。 How to Human will make you laugh， make you cry， make you question what you thought you knew/believed， confirm what you believe and open your heart and mind to at least listen to the opposing side。 You’ll learn to walk with people instead of stand on issues， be a builder of empathy and if you’re like me， you’ll wish you’ve seen and memorized A Christmas Story。 I’m so grateful for this book and cannot wait to share it with the people I love and share love with the people。 This book is a MUST READ。 You’ll thank me later， but you’ll probably want to thank Carlos for sharing it with us first。 。。。more

I don’t read a lot of these “self help” types of books， but I have followed Carlos Whitaker on Instagram for a long time and appreciate what he has to say。 So I jumped at the chance to read an early copy of his new book， How to Human。Using personal stories and the teachings of Jesus， Carlos lays out a plan for helping us all to be kind and compassionate humans。 He encourages us to see beyond our differences， to recognize our biases， to truly listen and emphasize with each other and to remember t I don’t read a lot of these “self help” types of books， but I have followed Carlos Whitaker on Instagram for a long time and appreciate what he has to say。 So I jumped at the chance to read an early copy of his new book， How to Human。Using personal stories and the teachings of Jesus， Carlos lays out a plan for helping us all to be kind and compassionate humans。 He encourages us to see beyond our differences， to recognize our biases， to truly listen and emphasize with each other and to remember that we can disagree and still love each other。 His motto of “walk with people don’t stand on issues” is prevalent throughout the book。Now I am a pretty critical reader， and I didn’t really love the writing style in this one。 It’s very conversational， like Carlos is just chatting with the reader。 But I also found it to be simplistic and sometimes rambling and repetitive。 However I think some of the exact same things that bothered me about the writing could be what appeals to another reader。 The casual tone definitely makes for an easy read and it is very relatable。 Carlos is at his best when he is telling stories about his personal experiences， because he shares so genuinely and honestly。 Those were the parts of the book that stood out to me the most while some of the teaching moments felt more generic。But I really don’t want to be critical about the writing because the message here is what is important。 And I am a big fan of Carlos’ message both in this book and in his instafamilia community。 I feel very strongly that we all need to learn how to be better humans。 It is possible to see someone， listen to them， understand them and still kindly disagree with them。 It is possible to show love and empathy and understanding to those who are different from us。 This book serves as a reminder of that possibility and an encouragement to do better and be better！（Interesting side note: I write reviews all the time and always refer to the author by last name in every review。 Except this one。 It felt weird to use his last name， because I feel like I know him better than that。 Though obviously we have never met。 I think that says a lot about Carlos’ ability to genuinely relate and share the human experience with his readers and followers）。 。。。more

"Don't stand on issues。 Walk with people。" This book gave me a lot to think about and a lot of action ideas on how to be more like Jesus。 I appreciated Carlos's vulnerability and willingness to go first。 Lots of things to think about， which for me is the sign of good non-fiction。I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 "Don't stand on issues。 Walk with people。" This book gave me a lot to think about and a lot of action ideas on how to be more like Jesus。 I appreciated Carlos's vulnerability and willingness to go first。 Lots of things to think about， which for me is the sign of good non-fiction。I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

This is a timely discussion on how to bring back our humanity。 I remember growing and learning from Carlos’ instagram throughout 2020 and thinking， “When’s the book come out？！” Well here it is。 If your 2020 story parallels that of Carlos’， you’ll resonate with difficult feelings that cut deep in your soul。 It didn’t take much to destroy our humanity。 People are extremely good at destruction but building up， that’s the stuff that takes time and hard work。 Put in the work and learn from this writi This is a timely discussion on how to bring back our humanity。 I remember growing and learning from Carlos’ instagram throughout 2020 and thinking， “When’s the book come out？！” Well here it is。 If your 2020 story parallels that of Carlos’， you’ll resonate with difficult feelings that cut deep in your soul。 It didn’t take much to destroy our humanity。 People are extremely good at destruction but building up， that’s the stuff that takes time and hard work。 Put in the work and learn from this writing。 。。。more

This book was an amazing way to start off my new year。 I have followed Carlos on social media for some time now， and he has always captivated me with his ability to connect with his audience in a deep， friendly， and engaging way。 When I purchase a book， or listen on audible， I love it when I can hear the author （if I know their voice） in their writing。 It helps me connect with the story on a more personal level。 Carlos writes like he talks and I love it。 This book was a soul touching book that h This book was an amazing way to start off my new year。 I have followed Carlos on social media for some time now， and he has always captivated me with his ability to connect with his audience in a deep， friendly， and engaging way。 When I purchase a book， or listen on audible， I love it when I can hear the author （if I know their voice） in their writing。 It helps me connect with the story on a more personal level。 Carlos writes like he talks and I love it。 This book was a soul touching book that helps believers and non-believers look at their lives and beliefs in a practical way to show us how we can become better humans。 The world is in need of a book like this and Carlos is that friend that is going to gently get you to feel， relate， see and be a better human in this crazy world we live in。 I highly recommend this book。 Heck， get your friends together and do a book study with it， because I think you will all learn something from each other and have some deep conversations in the process， that just might bring your friendships to a whole new level！ 。。。more

Usually， I’d refer to an author by their last name。 That’s what my time writing academically taught me。 But Carlos is different because he’s a friend。 Or he feels like it as I am a proud member of his Instafamilia。 If you， too， follow Carlos on social media or listen to his Human Hope podcast， you’ll be happy to hear that his voice translates very well from audio and video to print。 As you read the pages of this book， it will feel like Carlos is right there with you。 And that’s the most refreshi Usually， I’d refer to an author by their last name。 That’s what my time writing academically taught me。 But Carlos is different because he’s a friend。 Or he feels like it as I am a proud member of his Instafamilia。 If you， too， follow Carlos on social media or listen to his Human Hope podcast， you’ll be happy to hear that his voice translates very well from audio and video to print。 As you read the pages of this book， it will feel like Carlos is right there with you。 And that’s the most refreshing thing about him and this book: he doesn’t just tell people what to do。 He walks with people through the waters of complex issues and helps find a path forward。 He truly practices what he preaches。 This book is the “how to manual” for being like Carlos and ultimately for being more like Jesus （which he explains in such a way that even non-Christian readers might enjoy）。 Well written with engaging stories， down to earth explanations of complex concepts， and practical action steps， “How to Human” is a refreshing tool for how to draw near to and engage with people who are different from you， in a time when much of the world seems to be doing the opposite。 。。。more

This book is like a warm hug。 It points us toward how to make this whole being human thing better for all of us。 In an age of outrage and cancel culture and seemingly endless topics that divide， Carlos （I think he’d be ok with me referring to him on a first name basis） shows us how to “be， see， and free” in order to be the best humans we can。 Carlos points to the person of Jesus as the ultimate example of “how to human” and uses passages of Scripture to illustrate his points。 BUT he also appeals This book is like a warm hug。 It points us toward how to make this whole being human thing better for all of us。 In an age of outrage and cancel culture and seemingly endless topics that divide， Carlos （I think he’d be ok with me referring to him on a first name basis） shows us how to “be， see， and free” in order to be the best humans we can。 Carlos points to the person of Jesus as the ultimate example of “how to human” and uses passages of Scripture to illustrate his points。 BUT he also appeals to those who may not believe that Jesus is God’s Son。 With that being said， this is not a book I would recommend for its theology。 I don’t agree with every single thing Carlos believes。 But in a way， that’s partly the point of the book。 How can we focus on relationships rather than what has the potential to divide us？ One thing he says several times in the book will stick with me: “Don’t stand on issues; walk with people。” I love that and hope to apply it in my life and relationships。 Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced review copy。 And thank you Carlos for being a voice of hope we so desperately need。 。。。more

I follow Carlos on social media and I'm familiar with the points of this book。 In all of our arguments， political discourse， and assumptions， we forget how to effectively interact with each other。 Carlos reminds us that we must consider people instead of standing on issues alone。 I follow Carlos on social media and I'm familiar with the points of this book。 In all of our arguments， political discourse， and assumptions， we forget how to effectively interact with each other。 Carlos reminds us that we must consider people instead of standing on issues alone。 。。。more

Loved this book！ As part of Carlos’ Instafamilia I jumped at the opportunity to read the advanced copy。 There are so many truths and so much wisdom in this book that can be applied to life as a Christian （or as a non-Christian）。 Carlos does well at pointing back to scripture but How to Human is is for all。

I received an advanced reader copy of How to Human as part of the launch team for the book。 I enjoy Carlos’ account on Instagram and really enjoyed the book。 It was a great reminder on what it means to actually be human to others and to live as the example that Jesus provided。 I’m excited to receive my paper copy to share with others。 Carlos’ writing style is conversational which makes the book easy to read and understand。

I received this book early on NetGalley as part of Carlos' launch team。 I am a Carlos fan and was immediately drawn to the ideas mentioned in the title of the book - "ways to share life beyond what distracts， divides and disconnects us。" I love Carlos' story-telling style and I really loe how he points straight to Jesus as the example and motivation for how we should walk through the world。 The book has made me keenly aware of how I interact with those around me。 I received this book early on NetGalley as part of Carlos' launch team。 I am a Carlos fan and was immediately drawn to the ideas mentioned in the title of the book - "ways to share life beyond what distracts， divides and disconnects us。" I love Carlos' story-telling style and I really loe how he points straight to Jesus as the example and motivation for how we should walk through the world。 The book has made me keenly aware of how I interact with those around me。 。。。more

What a perfect book to start a new year！ Carlos Whittaker is a great follow on social media， but this book offers a more in-depth how-to on being Jesus in the flesh to those around us， even if you're not a believer。 This new book is a fresh take on loving others intentionally--even those--especially those who don't look， think， act or believe like we do。 We're made for community， and Whittaker offers simple strategies to build community with those with differing views。 I adored this book。 I reco What a perfect book to start a new year！ Carlos Whittaker is a great follow on social media， but this book offers a more in-depth how-to on being Jesus in the flesh to those around us， even if you're not a believer。 This new book is a fresh take on loving others intentionally--even those--especially those who don't look， think， act or believe like we do。 We're made for community， and Whittaker offers simple strategies to build community with those with differing views。 I adored this book。 I recommend to anyone looking for a fresh start in 2023！ 。。。more

4。5 stars。 This is such a refreshing Christian nonfiction book。 It calls out everyone to be better human。 Be kind。 See people。 Empathize。 Carlos tells stories that happened in 2020 to him and his family， and the lessons he learned from them。 He talks about most of the horrific world events that happened that year， as well as things that happened just in his household。 He writes like you’re talking to a friend， so it’s easy to digest。 He calls himself out on mistakes he’s made， and how he righted 4。5 stars。 This is such a refreshing Christian nonfiction book。 It calls out everyone to be better human。 Be kind。 See people。 Empathize。 Carlos tells stories that happened in 2020 to him and his family， and the lessons he learned from them。 He talks about most of the horrific world events that happened that year， as well as things that happened just in his household。 He writes like you’re talking to a friend， so it’s easy to digest。 He calls himself out on mistakes he’s made， and how he righted them。 It’s the Christian book I needed when so many “Christian’s” are getting it wrong。 。。。more

This book is a good read for anyone， especially those looking at the world around them and scratching their heads， wondering how we got to where we are。 In this quick read， Carlos reminds readers how to be human， see humans， and free humans。

A few years ago， writer and American civil rights activist， Shaun King， shared a story to his Instagram。 That story led me to Carlos Whittaker and his fascinated face as it toured the Precious Moments Museum in Carthage， Missouri。 I have followed Carlos ever since。 Life is not always easy for Carlos and his family but they walk this earth with a grace that I believe we can all learn from。 Carlos is many things: a writer， a podcaster， a speaker， a husband and father， a community hero， a faithful A few years ago， writer and American civil rights activist， Shaun King， shared a story to his Instagram。 That story led me to Carlos Whittaker and his fascinated face as it toured the Precious Moments Museum in Carthage， Missouri。 I have followed Carlos ever since。 Life is not always easy for Carlos and his family but they walk this earth with a grace that I believe we can all learn from。 Carlos is many things: a writer， a podcaster， a speaker， a husband and father， a community hero， a faithful Christian and the founder of a group of strangers who call themselves “Instafamilia”。 The Instafamilia is a powerhouse of passion that has come together to donate over 2 million dollars to people in need - just because Carlos asked them to unite for a cause。I jumped at the opportunity to get an advanced copy of “How to Human” and pre-ordered it through Amazon before I even finished the advanced copy。 I have never pre-ordered a book before， usually I buy used books。 Can you tell I’m a big Carlos Whittaker fan？In “How to Human”， Carlos writes like he talks。 While that may not be every reader’s cup of tea， I find his style easy to read and relatable。 Even when I don’t agree with him。 And that’s his whole point - you can relate to someone even when you don’t agree with their point of view。 Carlos breaks it down into three sections to guide us away from the things that divide us and towards the things that connect us。 He encourages us to be human， see humans and free humans。 Through personal antidotes， he shares his journey to accept his own identity and face his own biases。 His point of view is refreshing and empowering。 And he has some great stories。 Carlos does not shy away from his devotion to Jesus even though he knows that not all of his readers will believe in Jesus like he does。 He encourages those who don’t believe in Jesus to at least try and learn from the story of him。 As a Christian myself， I feel I must leave it to non-Christians to determine if what Carlos suggests is possible。 I feel it’s important to note， Carlos will bring you back to 2020 in this book。 If it was a particularly traumatic year for you， proceed with caution。 If you are not ready to reflect on the last few years， this book may not be for you as Carlos will take you back to push you forward。If you are ready - get your hands on “How to Human” as soon as you can。 Follow Carlos and/or his family （including his dogs） on Instagram。 Pass on the pieces you love to others。 Humanity will be better off because of it。 。。。more

This is a good book with many good points in it。 It does cover a lot of racism and seems to circle back to this a lot and I guess that’s because that relatable to Lois。 But if you can relate some of the point to other areas then it makes a lot of sense and he has shared lots of stuff that I have been thinking about for the last year。 This book reminded me about how sometimes moving forward looks like going back to the basics when it comes to relationships and doing life with people。

Many great reminders on how to be a good human in this book！ I am a Christian， but definitely agree with Carlos that non-believers will still enjoy this book！ I love how the chapters are organized and each chapter has real world experiences from Carlos and then relates the topic to how Jesus lived His life while on earth。 Five starts from me and would definitely recommend to others！

I enjoyed this book。 It's a quick read but full of depth。 I like how Carlos makes this book approachable to non-Christians but also doesn't shy away from the fact that he is a Christian。 It was a thought provoking book that made me re-evaluate how I respond to people and current day hit topics; especially when it comes to putting those opinions out on the internet。 If you have followed Carlos on Instagram， you'll get a kick out of his reference to "The Office"。 After reading this book， I will no I enjoyed this book。 It's a quick read but full of depth。 I like how Carlos makes this book approachable to non-Christians but also doesn't shy away from the fact that he is a Christian。 It was a thought provoking book that made me re-evaluate how I respond to people and current day hit topics; especially when it comes to putting those opinions out on the internet。 If you have followed Carlos on Instagram， you'll get a kick out of his reference to "The Office"。 After reading this book， I will now "not stand on issues， but walk with people" and will remind myself of that before responding to people online or in person。 And that doesn't mean not standing up for injustices but rather seeing the people involved in an issue and listening to them; whether you agree or not， because we can all learn from each other no matter what side of the aisle you lean towards。 When you look for the human involved， it can help you to see the issue from another side。 Read this book， it will convict you and hopefully change you！ 。。。more
