A really fun read with some amazing inspiring moments and quotes. I love these guys and it was so cool to be to get some behind the scene thoughts and stories to how they have being f**king up! Lol

This book came into my possession at a really important time. I find that reading the stories each of the Try Guys shares about their own personal failures and successes is encouraging, humbling, and leaves room to remind you not to take yourself too seriously. That even failure can just be a sign that something even better than you imagined is out there, as long as you keep moving forward and keep trying.
If you need a quick dose of motivation, I'd say this book is a great resource for it. Plus, I just really love Keith, Ned, Zach, and Eugene.

Yet another book that I’m unbelievably biased towards due to my admiration for the authors. The Try Guys are an inspiring bunch, in a field that I’m soon to be entering, which makes them doubly inspiring.
Their outlook on life is motivational, and their book really let that shine through. The audio version of them is just as entertaining a listen as their videos are, with more peeks at what makes a company like theirs flow smoothly.
While I enjoyed all of the topics, the chapter on career meant the most to me, and it was important to hear how they struggled to break into the industry. It’s a story that you hear on surface level, but don’t get to actually know the people who’ve walked that story in quite the same way, so it was nice to hear.
Really enjoyed the book, and look forward to future content from the authors.

I'm biased because I love them, but I actually did feel inspired and learned from them - as always!

So this was... a book. I mean, it read fast and was fairly fun, but it suffered from bad editing. In particular, Eugene's sections were overwritten ("an inherently distrustful view of the concept of love") and full of misused words ("my real magnanimous self"). Ned's were oddly shallow- while I could see how the others moved out of their comfort zones in ways that really mattered to their health and relationships and had lasting impacts, Ned... wore a skirt? Once, and never again? It was disappointing, I think he needed more of a push to get personal. Keith and Zach's sections were solidly enjoyable.
I enjoy the Try Guys' videos and this book was more of the same, so if that's the sort of thing you like...

A delightful and heartfelt memoir/self-help book from the wonderful Try Guys. I'm definitely feeling inspired.

This was a fun listen! It felt similar to their podcast 'cause sometimes they were just yelling LOL (mainly just Zach and Ned, and once or twice Keith did too). There's nothing really *special* about the advice they give, but it was fun to listen to them narrate different stories from their lives. Other people have mentioned that multiple stories aren't exclusive to the book (see: almost all of Ned's parts) and I've seen a few people say that some of the book-stories could have been told better in video form, which I can also agree with. When it comes down to it, it's kind of the typical "YouTuber book" where there's not much lasting value for "outsiders," it's really only meaningful to a core fanbase. With that said, I'm part of the fanbase, so I enjoyed the book. The bloopers at the end of the audio version were a fun bonus (though they're so chaotic when they all work together fjdklsjd how did the audiobook producers deal with them
