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!

Love the Try guys, loved this book!

Listened to the audiobook during my commute. genuinely made me laugh and cry on the bus, a few times! A great insight into the guys and their lives, but also gave me a lot to consider. Well done guys!

F*cking love it.

I thought the narration was really good and the story was so good. I am going to buy the book now, so I can look at the images in the book and so I can read it again.
I thought they connected really well with me. I really connected to their stories and felt that they were truly enjoying this.
Definitely gonna listen/read this again.
Also, I listened to this in a day.

Good

It was a good book, not a great book but a really good one. I loved some of the big take aways that really inspired me and the health section was really helpful. I felt like some sections dragged on a bit but, also, I didn't really mind it. As a Triceratops Fan I really enjoyed hearing these stories from the guys and I hope they write more in the future!

They tried (and made a fun book in the process)

I don't think it's a good self help book per se, BUT: there are some great stories in it and the way they told them was very good. You could feel the fun they had, also the emotion in the more sad parts and the love when they talked about loved ones.
I think it works very well as an audiobook and I'm glad I took the time to listen to it. I just choose to not see it as a self help book but as an insider look at the Try Guys and what made them who they are now.

You might wonder why I don't think it's a great self help book then. And it's mostly because I didn't enjoy the focus it had in some parts on looks. The book gave you ways to cope with your surroundings and outer shell. Be it by exercise, clothing, relationships or family. Of course those 4 are very important, but it doesn't solve anything if you can't just be happy being you. And saying for instance that you can always fall back on family makes your advise not applicable to a lot of people, family can be very toxic. In short: I feel like they try to push you to change, when I think the more important lesson would be that, sure you can change for the better, but you should start with knowing that you are good as you are now, that helps a lot with taking on something you find scary or is new, And they didn't give me that at all.
