Publisher's Summary

The four cocreators of the Try Guys, one of the Internet’s most popular and viral sensations, deliver their first audiobook - an inspirational self-improvement guide that teaches you that the path to success is littered with humiliating detours, embarrassing offenses, and unexpected failures.

Best friends and social media stars Eugene, Keith, Ned, and Zach are admired for their curiosity, humor, bravado, and fearlessness. But that self-confidence came from their willingness to take big risks - being open to try something new or unusual, even if they failed spectacularly in the attempt. To be our best selves, we have to challenge ourselves. In dedicating ourselves to embracing fear, foolishness, and embarrassment, we can learn to recognize the ways in which we often hold ourselves back.

In The Hidden Power of F*cking Up, they swap some of their best stories and offer encouragement and hard advice to help you become a Try Guy, too. Whether they’re experiencing what it’s like to be in labor with a pain-simulation machine, marching on the streets of Los Angeles in heels, learning to dance ballet (with a professional dancer and some talented tots), replicating the ancient Olympics, or trying to bake bread without a recipe - their hilarious escapades are accented by their “throw caution to the wind” attitudes, encouraging listeners to become their best flawed and f--ked up selves.

Throughout, Eugene, Keith, Ned, and Zach open the doors to the past, showing their fans how four nerdy, timid, self-conscious boys grew up into four super-hot mega-babes secure in their insecurities. They offer key advice on what to do when faced with impending failure - and how to push through to the other side - provide anecdotes about their experiences curating their sure-fail philosophy and introduce each of their new challenges to the listeners for the first time (Ned’s impossible challenges as a first-time father and Keith’s goal of curbing his fried chicken habit by going vegan).

Just what I needed

I think this book is great, especially for fans of the try guys. It really does motivate you to get up and get out there to better yourself. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to go and try something new or something that they always feared to try. I love this book and I’d happily listen to it again!

Great book and amazing story telling

I got this book because I enjoy watching the try guys. I figured I wouldn't gain much from it but it turns out this book was very eye opening and I am going to be trying to make some changes in my life after having listened the the guys talk about their lives & trying new things.

Honest, Vulnerable, and Funny!

If you adore the Try Guys (as you should!) you'll adore this book.

I appreciate each one's willingness to put themselves out there, not just with the crazy challenges they do in their videos, but with their audience as they genuinely try to engage you with their journey through personal struggles.

Trying isn't all fun and games, but if you don't try then what's the point? So go ahead and give this book one BIG try!!!!!
