Do Epic Shit

Picked this up because I follow Warikoo’s YouTube channel and wanted to see if his energy translated to the page. It absolutely does. The tone is conversational and relatable, making it feel less like a lecture and more like a chat with a mentor. Every page is filled with these small nuggets of wisdom and reflections on his own failures, which I found incredibly refreshing in a world full of fake perfection. It’s the kind of book you can open to any random page and find something worth thinking about for the rest of the day. Personally, I think the best part is how he talks extensively about his mistakes so we don’t have to repeat them. Life is short, and these reminders help. A beautiful experience overall.

Ever wonder why some people seem to have their life together while you’re still figuring out the basics? This book doesn’t give you a magic formula, but it provides a growth mindset that is essential for anyone looking to take their life to the next level. Warikoo shares practical advice on building a business and creating a fulfilling life without the usual fluff found in self-help. The themes of determination and perseverance are central here. I love the artistic, journal-like feel of the pages. It's full of surprises and sparks. If you are looking for an inspiring guide that is easy to understand and apply, this is it. It’s a valuable resource for anyone who wants to stop making excuses and start doing epic things.

Wow, the way Ankur reflects on his own failures makes this feel so much more authentic than your standard hustle culture manual. I've been listening to the snippets on Audible too, and the conversational tone is just so pleasant. It feels like he’s sitting right there in front of you, sharing his life journey. The book is filled with inspiring stories and case studies that help you understand how to overcome obstacles. I found the practical tips for developing a growth mindset to be very applicable to my current business challenges. It’s a motivational guide that actually encourages you to ask for what you want, because if you don't ask, the answer is always no. Highly recommended for any aspiring entrepreneur.

The structure of this book is quite unconventional, but that's exactly why it works for me. It’s not a dense narrative; it’s more like a collection of thoughts and 'bitter pills' to swallow if you want to regain your inner peace. While some might say it’s just a printed version of his social media posts, I found having them organized in one physical place to be quite useful for daily reflection. I’ve been reading one snippet every morning to help make better choices in my personal and financial life. My only gripe was the physical condition upon arrival, as the cover had some slight damage, but the content inside is solid. It's a great reminder that success comes from simply showing up every single day.

As someone who struggles with reading long, dense non-fiction, the bite-sized format here was a breath of fresh air. It touches on almost all aspects of life—from career and money to relationships and self-awareness. Look, it’s not going to reveal any groundbreaking secrets that have never been heard before, but it serves as an excellent daily reminder. I especially liked the section on how time leaves us with either regret or results. That hit home. The writing style is very easy to digest, and the artistic layout keeps you engaged. It’s a great gift for someone starting their career who needs a little push. Just a heads up that the cover might arrive a bit scuffed due to the matte finish.

Looking past the catchy title and the massive marketing blitz, there is a genuine heart in these pages. The truth is, most of us already know what we need to do, we just need someone to remind us to actually do it. Warikoo acts as that reminder. I found his reflections on his startup mistakes to be the most valuable part of the book. It’s a quick read, but the nuggets of wisdom stay with you. I appreciated the advice on financial choices and inner peace, which felt very grounded. While the scrapbook style isn't for everyone, it makes the 'bitter pills' of life a lot easier to swallow and digest. It’s a solid 4-star read for me.

Finally got around to finishing this today, and I have some mixed but mostly positive thoughts. It’s definitely not a traditional book with a linear plot, but rather a series of observations. 'The pro is the amateur who simply showed up every day'—that quote alone made the purchase worth it for me. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to take their life to the next level through small, consistent changes. Some parts felt a bit like common sense, but the way he phrases things makes them stick in your head. It’s a very relatable guide to achieving success. I would suggest keeping it on your nightstand and reading just two pages a night to let the ideas sink in.

After hearing so much hype about this on social media, I finally gave in and bought it. To be fair, it’s a very quick read—you can finish the whole thing in about an hour because of the huge font and the scrapbook-style layout. However, I can see why some readers are annoyed. It does feel a bit like a collection of 'shower thoughts' and tweets strung together rather than a structured book. For a beginner who has never touched a self-help book, this is a fantastic entry point. But if you’ve read the classics, you might find the advice a bit self-evident or filled with common cliches. It’s a good product, just perhaps a bit overpriced for what is essentially a high-quality pamphlet of motivational quotes.

Frankly, this isn't a book so much as it is a printed version of a Twitter feed. I was expecting a deep dive into Warikoo's startup journey, but instead, I got a series of one-liners and 'toxic positivity' that felt a bit superficial. The title is catchy, sure, but it has very little connection to the actual content within the pages. Some of the advice even felt like it was deriding the reader for wasting time, which is ironic considering I was spending time reading his book. It lacks a proper structure and feels like a marketing team convinced him to sell his scribbles as a full-priced hardback. Not gonna lie, I felt like the success of this book came at the expense of the readers' wallets.

Not what I expected at all, and unfortunately, I found it quite disappointing. I’m a fan of Ankur’s videos, but this book is basically a collection of cliches printed in a very big font to take up space. It feels like a bad product designed by a PR team to capitalize on a personal brand rather than provide actual value. The 'epic' title is just bait. To make matters worse, the copy I received had a bent cover and looked used. It’s hard to stay inspired when the book itself feels like a collection of tweets I could have scrolled through for free. If you want real substance, look elsewhere. This is just a compilation of sayings that border on toxic positivity.
