The Hidden Power of F*cking Up by Keith Habersberger, Eugene Lee Yang, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld
bluejane73's review against another edition

Downloaded this as an audio book cause I really enjoy their videos. After listening to about 5 minutes, I returned it. It was so poorly done. Keith’s sound effects were over the top and unnecessary. The timbre of Ned’s voice was sharp and nasally. Eugene sounded bored af. Zach had the best voice but it’s not saying much. How did this audio book end up as the final product??

I tried to think about this book as if I haven't been a fan of the try guys for years! This is something I have always had trouble with if I know the author.
However one approaches the book, it's full of heart and humor. In true try guys fashion...it's a try. The try guys try writing a book. It's humble and obvious that they learned as they wrote. I think this effort should be celebrated as the try guys delivered a thought-provoking book ready to derve the laughs, tears, and feelings.
Are there slight grammar errors? Sure. But if you look at the book as what it is a "try" you will find the book all the more charming. I will always have nothing but great things to say about this book.

I am a big fan of them that I went to their show and met them privately. I even spent 70 dollars to get the autographed book. However when I finished this book, I felt empty. Like, this is it?
Most of the content you already know if you watched their videos or are a big fan of them. Thus, I got bored at some parts and dropped the book for awhile before going back in again when I had the motivation.
Overall, it is a cute book with cute pictures and I am lucky to get it autographed. My favourite parts were the chapters Style and Health.

A book of twists and turns. The guys have tried to write a book that is both humorous and informative and they have done so. This showcases who they are and their goals. Thank you Try Guys for never giving up.

I mean... I was probably going to love this book no matter what, but it’s genuinely really good? It’s funny and sweet and heartwarming and a little bit inspirational l. You can tell the guys poured a lot of themselves into it.

The writing is really difficult to get through. I tried really hard to enjoy it but couldn’t.

This was a lot of fun to listen to on audio, but I agree with others that it felt like just an extended version of their podcast. Still, I thought it was a good book to start the year with. Eugene’s try with his family probably resonated the most with me.

Fun, funny, and surprisingly very touching and thought provoking. Well done, Try Guys! Another successful try!

This book was surprisingly good.
I mostly enjoyed Eugene's story, more specifically his progress in getting closer to his family, by getting out of his comfort zone and getting to know his family better. Even though he is the most "closed-off" in the group, he seems to be most supportive of everyone (in his own way).
Zach's story is the most relatable to me. He grew up as a "weird" kid and as a consequence he ended up being a lonely kid and had depression. Which made it harder to develop certain social skills that as grew up and started to date, he realized he lacked them, until he met Maggie.
Keith suffers with body dysmorphia and his story is mostly around what he does to change that. He makes a lot of progress.
Ned, as we know, talks about being a husband and a father. I obviously I didn't like it because, if you are not aware, things happened that makes all of it feel like a major lie (even though, at the time it probably wasn't). I did like his story about his injury and his (almost) pill addiction.

2.5-3 stars. I think the audio book would have been better.
