I had no idea this was a self help book until I hit play. (But I immediately gravitate towards Chris Gethard as a Beautiful / Anonymous fan.) This was a mix of self-help blended with a memoir of sorts. Maybe I'm just not used to this self help-y vibe from him, to such a large degree, so it felt a little jarring. The self-help parts tended to drag and I felt like it wasn't quite hitting right.
But overall I still enjoyed it. Mostly because he's very endearing. He's a great storyteller with fun, inspiring stories. I appreciate that he speaks from experience. He's been through a lot, had a lot of great successes (and he's not afraid to talk about his failures, clearly!) I can't deny that this book was still inspiring. I read a few reviews saying it's like a 2-3 star out of a 5 star book, but the way he tells it really brings it up a mark. And I totally agree.
I highly recommend the audiobook because there is literally HOURS of bonus content at the end. You can really tell how much love he puts into his work.
Also if you like podcasts, check out his podcast Beautiful Anonymous. It's amazing.
