Warning: This book is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any of your problems.

In actuality, this book expresses all of the problems I've encountered in my life since I was a child.

Hi, my name is Yousef Saleh Erakat a.k.a. Fousey. I am a YouTuber, actor, wannabe motivational speaker, artist, and a depressive with over 15 million total YouTube subscribers, a couple of Hollywood movies on my resume, some big awards on my shelf, and for the first time, I will be opening up about how I survived my struggles with depression, anxiety, fame, suicidal thoughts, and addiction. Welcome to my life.

Eli Tolentino’s Review

I loved the book. I’am a 1st generation Filipino-American and I understand and feel the struggle of growing up in America with foreign parents to constantly please but want to follow my own path. This book keeps it real and tells the true story of Yousef Erakat. The vlogs on DOF channel showed the real you BUT this book shows your story. Thank you for sharing.

One of the best books I’ve ever listened to

Fousey, listening to your book gave me such a better look at your story and everything you’ve been through and all the struggles. Being a Muslim myself I can relate a lot to the things that went in your head as a kid so I sort of had a connection to it. Keep it up brother I know it was hard to release this book but I want you to know your real fans are always going to stand by you❤️

Amazing listen

I’ve been following yousef for over 7 years now and nothing makes me happier knowing he was able to tell his darkest times and move forward from them even if it is hard and seems impossible he gives me motivation and I hope to one day have yousef as a true friend

This is a great listen for anyone who has been a supporter of Yousef since the beginning. You get to see all the things he was going through in silence even though he was very open with us. Much love Yousef!

I appreciated fouseys brutal honesty

A very interesting listen from beginning to end. Fousey props on never giving up man. You are inspiring others by telling your story.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book kept me stuck on it
Didn’t want it to finish.

The most valuable book I’ve read this year

I completely respect you for putting this out ! Now I understand why you expressed so much emotion. You’re the realest !

Bravo Yousef

Thanks for sharing your truth! Real, raw, and uncut. So happy for you and all your future success!

Honestly

This only made me love you more brother. You've always been so transparent with your audiences but it takes a genuine, brave human being to be as vulnerable and open as you were in this book and you never fail to astonish me in a positive way. You don't know me in person and neither do I know you but I just want you to know that you have impacted my life tremendously and I will forever be grateful. I can't wait to see what is next. The journey we call life is just getting started.

A genuine in depth comprehensive review bottled up in a few sentences

Thank you for allowing us to peep into your life and learn about your experiences. Words can't express the amount of respect I have for you, even before I read this book. I'm excited to see what the future holds for you, and I'll be on the lookout for your Motivational Story book 👀 .
