The Build reveals the "behind the scenes" story of the popular TV reality series American Chopper for the show's millions of fans

Author Paul Teutul, Jr., is arguably the most creative builder of custom "chopper" motorcycles in the world. His talents were revealed to millions of TV viewers worldwide on American Chopper, as well as later in a spinoff series, American Chopper Senior vs Junior. The Build gives the listener a glimpse at Paul Jr.'s life behind the camera, which included volcanic conflict with his father and business mentor, Paul Sr. Using his own story of improbable success as an illustration, Paul Jr. offers insights on how anyone can find and activate often hidden talents. In a charming, often humorous way, The Build is a rallying cry to unleash your creativity and live life to the fullest.

Critic reviews

“At the very beginning of what we came to know as reality TV was American Chopper—inspiring motorbike lovers all over the world with the beauty of what could be imagined into being on two wheels. Here’s Paul Jr. telling his personal journey—still imagining, still building. Every man’s journey is his own; every man’s heart needs building from the inside.”
—Russell Crowe, actor, film producer, musician

“Paul Jr’s book The Build is a must-read. I respect his talent, but mostly I respect how he is living out his faith in the public eye. Paul’s candidness about his father is not to attack but to shine the light of truth on how a son is affected by his father. Thanks for writing this book, Junior!”
—Todd Hoffman, “Gold Rush Todd”

Awesome book

Very informational book about a lot of the details
That went on plus very entertaining.

Very enjoyable!

I am a motorcycle enthusiasts, but not necessarily with choppers. I watched American Choppers because I was interested in the mechanical portion of the show. I really enjoyed the stories Paul, Jr. told from behind the scenes experiences & mostly about his Christian faith.

great book

i enjoyed it. a great book about a great guy. i wish him well. great read

Proof that God changes people

I was blessed to read Paul's testimony and the changes that he has made in his life because he has a personal relationship with God. His story is very relatable on many levels. He is honest, transparent, vulnerable, and encouraging. His story is one of hope and encouragement. He honors his dad very well in this book, and if you have had issues with your own father, this is a good book to read. He is proof that you can rise above the crap and be a man of God, regardless of how you start out in life. He is also proof that God uses our past to make us better in the future.

Perfect!
