Beautifully Made
I've followed the Try Guys for a few years now and pre-ordered this book the second they announced it. I have watched most of the post BuzzFeed videos twice at least and it's cool to see the thinking behind some of the videos and to experience an inner monologue. Also, I found it cool to see the related videos come out after reading the book ( Ned's fashion vid & Keith @ Cross Fit).By far my favorite part of the book were Eugene's sections/comments. There were some moments that he was so kind and supportive towards the other guys, and I think it goes to showing the soft side of him that the Try Wives have mentioned.The largest thing I took away was Zach's comments about roller derby, that they teach you to fall first, which takes away some of the scary part. How many things could we do differently in this world if we addressed the intimidating part first? (* I teach math and I'm trying to think about how to apply this nugget of genius - thanks Zach!)Overall some things to look forward to: - Each chapter is directed by one Try Guy, but they all have input into each chapter - The narrator will switch, but the speaker of the line is indicated by a doodle of the respective Guy - Sometimes they have a meta conversation in the book which is really neat- The graphics and paper quality are beautifulI look forward to seeing what comes next!

An easy read
I've been a fan of the Try Guys since their days in Buzzfeed. Fell off the track because work took over my life but I'm happy I remembered them and started watching them again last year.Like what a lot of people have mentioned in their reviews, a lot of the content in the book has been talked about in their videos so it seems a bit repetitive. However, I don't think the videos were as in-depth of the book so there are some gems in the book that we dont see in the videos or hear in their podcasts.The Love/Intimate Relationships portion had me in my feelings especially for Zach's part and Eugene's part.I think was a good, easy, fun read. Very lighthearted for the most part. Still cheesy bits because it is the Try Guys, but I recommend it if you're a fan.

The Try Guys try writing a Self Help Book...
The Try Guys are my kind of people. When I heard that they had written a book I had to get a copy. If you like the Try Guys, faults and all, you'll like the book.I was a little apprehensive that a publisher would try to clean and tidy it up a little too much, so that it would feel like others had written it for them. But what I am reading so far is really coming from Zack, Eugene, Keith, and Ned. Accounts from broadcasted episodes and new gleanings of the men that form the Guys make for good light reading (so far), and the individual personalities show through.I choose not to compare their f-ups to mine at this point. I'm reading this to forget the regrettable parts of mine for now and focus on those promised learning moments and silver linings. And get the occasional chuckle from their wit and humor in dealing with their own.Yeah, I'd recommend the book if you like their style. Even if you aren't familiar with their internet presence, which would be almost impossible unless you don't watch tv or use the web, I would suggest getting a copy of this book.

Everything you want a self help book to be.
I’m. Only a couple of chapters in (which says a lot for it only having six chapters), and find it so insightful and entertaining. As a long time fan of The Try Guys I’ve always admired their attitude about tackling new experiences and topics in such a relatable manner. And in the book they’ve been able to give more background and stories surrounding their lives and things that they’ve discussed in their videos in a more in depth fashion.And unlike most self help books, it’s not preachy at all. They tell many stories about their biggest fails during tries and what they took away with them and what they would want to change moving forward. They also have a really creative way of showing each person’s take and story on the particular topic so that it’s easy to follow along and have that voice in your head(unless you’re listening to the audio book and actually have their voices in your head).I highly recommend this book to anyone, fan or not of the Try Guys. It’s light, deep, enjoyable, and dares you to take a new look at things in your life you’d want to change or just grow and improve upon.

The Try Guys make me laugh, make me think, and make me feel warm and fuzzy. This book rocks.
The Try Guys rock. They've gone a fantastic job creating a strong following with Buzzfeed and then breaking out to form their own company. They make me laugh, make me think, and make me feel warm and fuzzy. They're great human beings with big hearts, and I'm happy to read their stories. I got this in print, Kindle, and audiobook (the Kindle version included a discount, and the audiobook was an Audible add-on), and all are fun. I went back and forth, depending on which was more convenient at the time.The photo is my VIP photo with the Try Guys on their tour stop in Minneapolis June 2019, shortly after I got the book. I was planning to bring a Hanukkah stocking (which my mom had for some reason) for Zach (right), who is Jewish, but I couldn't find it. I'm still bummed, so I guess I'll have to go again next year, assuming they go back to Minneapolis. This time I will at least be prepared for the near-constant screams of young teenage girl fans. (When do these girls breath?!?)

Not what you expected
I'm only 70 pages in and this is one of the most well written honest books I have read. These men and their stories are amazing.

Eu não leio livro de youtuber, mas depende!
Quando soube que os Try Guys lançariam um livro eu fiquei empolgada. Curto muito o conteúdo deles e resolvi me desafiar e tentar (olha só a influência dos try guys aí!) ler um livro em inglês pela primeira vez. Demorei muito, tive que parar algumas vezes, altos e baixos... mas terminei!Por ser um livro de não-ficção, pode ser um pouco mais difícil para leitores que não tem o inglês como primeira língua. Fora isso, é muito interessante ver os desafios pessoais de cada um deles. É como se estivéssemos em um vídeo, mas bem mais próximos deles. O desafio do Ned especialmente me inspirou a dar uma repaginada no meu guarda roupa, e foi muito divertido! As ilustrações também são muito legais.Apesar do preço, eu recomendo a leitura para quem curte o conteúdo do canal deles e quer praticar o idioma.

nice quick read.
there were a lot of reviews on goodread that proclaimed this book as "unnecessary" or "boring." i do agree that this could've been better off as a video, but it terms of revenue, this i probably the right choice. they tell a lot of things from their personal lives that you probably wont hear from videos. this book claims to be a self help book, and i see what they were aiming for however itwas full of the clichè sort of things lik "always try!"overal it gives a nice overview of them behind the cameras and them trying new things.

Great read!
I have been watching the Try guys' YouTube videos since the beginning and when they announced the book I was really excited about it. And they did not disappoint! It was a great read and I feel like I know each of the guys and their families a bit better. Now it's time to go and try to f things up myself :)
