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!

Loved every minute

You guys have made me laugh so much in this book and choke up a little too. It was read in a fantastic way by the four awesome men who wrote it. You guys absolutely did yourselves justice. A lovely story oh trying, learning and growing to show that we are all simply human. Thank you for this great tale and experience.

Just TRY not to love it

I am a huge fan of the Try Guys and having just left an emotionally abusive relationship I was looking for a pick me up. The Try Guys channel had kept me distracted while I took time to recover and this book actually was a great option while I drive and travel. The stories are inspiring, emotional, and they remind me one carp in the sea doesn't mean they're all carp. I am now focusing on myself and things I love and hopefully I will find a love like Ned and Ariel, or Keith and Becky. Fingers crossed.

Try to find time to read this worthwhile book

Being an ardent follower of the Try Guys for the past three years, I had been waiting eagerly for this book. I can tell you it doesn't disappoint rather forces you to introspect your approach to life.This book with example of four stories interwoven together under subtitles of fitness, health, fashion and family demonstrates that 'Trying is succeeding'.
