Publisher's summary

Eli Wehbe lived at the white-hot center of Los Angeles nightlife. More than a decade of hustle, scramble, and hard work put him at the pinnacle of the life he always wanted: celebrity friends, beautiful women, fast cars, popularity - and plenty of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. He achieved his dream - and it left him empty. Then, a tragedy threatened to destroy him and everything he worked for.

In this raw, honest, and vulnerable memoir, one of America’s nightclub greats - a man who literally had his name in lights in Hollywood - shares his story and reveals the naked truth behind Los Angeles after dark. Riveting from first minute to last, Mask describes the backstabbing, insecurities, and hollowness that drive the nightclub business and the people within it.

After plunging to the depths of despair, Eli refused to give up, embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery and reinvention. Mask chronicles his ultimate odyssey from teen outcast to Hollywood mogul to extreme athletic achievement - an inspiring American story of creation, failure, and redemption.

A story anyone can learn from

I truly enjoyed every second of this book, Eli is a great story teller. I saw it all like a movie in my head. Anytime someone is going through something major or hit rock bottom, I’ll recommend it.

As a mother of a little boy, I’d love for him to read it one day. Thank you for sharing your story, Eli!

Ownership and progression

Great memoir that resonates with me in so many ways. Invest in yourself. Mind, body and soul. Take ownership, forgive and seek wisdom. Eli never tried to preach, he simply used his life experiences and shared his journey of progression.
Enjoy the journey and LFG 💪🏼

AMAZING STORY

This book is a must read / must listen. An amazing story that everyone needs to hear regardless of where they find themselves in life.

Buy this book!!

Wow I am so glad I bought this book, I finished the audiobook in one day. I just love how open and honest Eli was. From struggling to find his true identity, to spending 15 years in the nightclub industry, Eli found his purpose. Its to use his life experiences, addictions, and successes to help others be a better person. Thats what this book does. It is so inspiring, and I think I am going to be a different person moving forward. I know it sounds cheesy, but its true. If you are finding yourself needing inspiration to get you out of a rut, addiction, or just want to be inspired. BUY THIS BOOK. Thank you so much Eli for using your words to inspire others to be the best version of themselves.

This is your sign to read this book

Eli’s honest words and powerful story-telling sucks you in. You’ll feel rejuvenated, humbled, and ready to kick ass all at the same time. You won’t regret listening.

Insightful and captivating story told through a unique format

Rollercoaster of a epic story. Extremely rare to hear the real stories of the nightlife industry and also with wise introspection and learning lessons along the way
Highly recommend

Tenacious & True

I didn’t know much about Eli before purchasing this book on audible. All I knew was that I liked his attitude and words on wisdom shared on his Instagram. I’ve been going through a lot lately, and needed motivation to get me through. Once I started the audible, I couldn’t believe how much his story with a particular woman resonated so hard with what I am going through. His story is well written and spoken, and I really loved the dialogue between the narrator and Eli at the end of each chapter. It gave a podcast feel and I appreciated a deeper dive into what Eli was truly feeling throughout his story. Eli’s story has grit, romance, and tenacious truth. I have so much more respect for him after reading this story! And more motivation to get my a** back out in the world to live my own truth.

Must read/listen!!

This book is a must read as it gives the reader an inside view of LA nightlife and serves as motivation. This book is relatable and the inspiration that this book provides can be applied to anyone’s life. Thank you Eli for sharing your life with the world 🤙

Good story, not a great audiobook

The podcast style interruption between is lame and doesn’t add to the story. The book is decent, it’s a good story filled with tons of self torture. Glad he found running and good health.

Appreciate the authors realness & straightforward approach to action / change

Appreciate the realness in the story & Q&A podcast after each book chapter, it definitely added more color to an already colorful story.

I can only imagine how challenging it was to share and be vulnerable about his past like he did.

Eli's book is very practical; no jargon and easy to read and comprehend. Eli's life turn around and quickness to action is something we can all learn from
