In his first book, Gut Check, Tarek Saab shatters the stereotypes of the standard celebrity opus or candy-coated self-help book. Gut Check is an intensely personal memoir from the pen of a twenty-nine year-old television personality with a jarring take on the 'quarter-life crisis.' Like so many other men his age, Saab reluctantly confronts business, relationships, manhood, and moments of spiritual disillusionment in his twenties. He searches for an answer to the question: what does it mean to be a man? In the midst of a successful and rapidly-escalating career in international marketing, Saab's dramatic, life-changing events are comically ordinary and characterized by Saab's relentless pursuit of truth. And of course, there's The Apprentice. This raw, modern-day Confessions is unique in its form, its content, and its audience, and its Saab's introspective analysis that captivates the reader, as his reactions to the world and to his life expose him as one who is truly counter-cultural. Indeed, this is no average Christian fairy tale. Gut Check is a manual for manhood - the hard way. It is a book for men who never read, and for those who think they've read it all. If you believe you know what you really want, are you ready for a gut check?
