Publisher's summary

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 straitlaced 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!

Absolutely hilarious

I absolutely enjoyed this audio book. Not only was the contents great, heartfelt and thought provoking but the interactions between the Try Guys which we all love almost made me feel sorry for anyone who wasn't consuming this as an audio book

Amazing!

Signed up to audible just to read this book, and it was super cool! It was really grounding to hear that people you count on to make you laugh when your life is messed up have had so many of the same feelings and experiences you have. Being in your 30s as well sometimes makes you feel jaded and anhedonic **life** but this book first reminded me that there’s always more to try, it’s only ourselves that limit what there is left of life. Also, as a parent it just made me tear up listening to how much you appreciate your parents’ support and sacrifices. Really touching book, not corny at all *cue most self help books* funny and soul-enlightening. Feed me more!!!

Personal, funny, moving, inspiring. Truly enjoyed listening to it, and I will definitely use some of their tips in my life.
You should give this book a try! It might not be for you, but you will not know before you have read it or listened to it.

The narrators in this makes the book even more relatable, I want to try.. I have been afraid of trying out of fear of failing for as long as can remember.. Hear the audio books!

It’s ok to fail

Feels like a Podcast but with the thoughts and layout of a book. This book would be great for teenagers to read/listen too, great insights on how to just give thing a go, they might be scary and yes you might fail but try again. Loved it.

Big fan of the book and the group

Surprisingly emotional stories and incredibly well written and read. Only drawback was that there were some strange voice inflections with some of the reading that was not the best to listen to, but they were minor parts and didn't distract from the stories. Excellent listen!
