About this listen

The Try Guys deliver their first book–an inspirational self-improvement guide that teaches you that the path to success is littered with humiliating detours, embarrassing mistakes, and unexpected failures.

To be our best selves, we must become secure in our insecurities. In The Hidden Power of F*cking Up, The Try Guys – Keith, Ned, Zach, and Eugene – reveal their philosophy of trying: how to fully embrace fear, foolishness, and embarrassment in an effort to understand how we all get paralyzed by a fear of failure. They'll share how four shy, nerdy kids have dealt with their most poignant life struggles by attacking them head-on and reveal their – ahem – sure-fail strategies for achieving success.

But they're not just here to talk; they're actually going to put their advice to work. To demonstrate their unique self-improvement formula, they'll each personally confront their deepest insecurities. A die-hard meat-lover goes vegan for the first time. A straight-laced father transforms into a fashionista. A perpetually single sidekick becomes the romantic lead. A child of divorce finally grows more intimate with his family. Through their insightful, emotional journeys and surprising, hilarious anecdotes, they'll help you overcome your own self-doubt to become the best, most f*cked up version of yourself you can be!

Listening to this book had me laughing out loud through my night shifts The try guys are hilarious and so down to earth. I love ALL try guys (including the podcast gremlin Miles) Eugene's sections of this book were the most powerful in contrast to how he usually portrays himself.

love love love!

I’m a big Try Guys fan but this wasn’t really a self help book, more just joining the four guys on their own journeys of growth. Definitely entertaining but not hugely insightful to anyone who isn’t a fan. Some of them were better at narration than others - Eugene’s voice is very smooth (isn’t that guy just amazing at literally everything?) and on the other end of the spectrum Zach has this annoying habit of starting and stopping in the middle of his sentences multiple times that made it a real struggle to listen to. Overall I enjoyed it but didn’t learn as much as I thought I would about the hidden power of fucking up.

Good but only if you’re a fan!

This book was everything I hoped for! It touched my world, my heart and my funny bone. I cannot wait to try that thing I've been putting off. Thank you!

Everything I wanted it to be!!!
