I Can't Make This Up

Life Lessons

By: Neil Strauss - contributor, Kevin Hart

Narrated by: Kevin Hart

Length: 11 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box-office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.

It begins in North Philadelphia. He was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys.

The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero, just like the odds that are stacked against the release of a new book in this era of social media (where Hart has a following of over 100 million, by the way).

But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes the listener on a journey through what his life was, what it is today, and how he's overcome each challenge to become the man he is today.

And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion.

He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent: It was through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself.

"Not only do you get to choose how you interpret each chapter, but your interpretation writes the next chapter," he says. "So why not choose the interpretation that serves your life the best?"

Best Audiobook I Ever Listened To

I am so glad that I listened to this book!

I have been an audible subscriber since 2011 and I generally stay in the personal development/self help categories, but I am a Kevin Hart fan and figured this would be a hilarious experience. It was, and you will laugh from beginning to end with this book. What I was not expecting was to receive so many practical lessons and success principles that were on par with the best books in the personal development industry. Most people don't know the process that Mr. Hart went through to get to the top. Like he states in the book he's an overnight success 16 years in the making! You will definitely want to listen to this book multiple times. I highly recommend it. Not only is it entertaining but you WILL be motivated to step your game up in whatever arena you have chosen to play in. GET THIS AUDIOBOOK!!!

I ❤️ Hart

Any additional comments?

Clever and made me smile. Mr. Hart talks a bit fast, watch a stand up clip on YouTube with your eyes closed if you like that you will like this. Oh and for those that don't speak fluent French and don't like sailors this is probably not your book. But if you like Kevin and want some background on him this book is funny and informative👌

Incredible

Absolutely amazing.... Absolutely recommended... it's funny, it's emotional, it makes you look at yourself and wondering. I will be listening to it again, maybe even three times. Loved it!!!

This Book is just Amazingly narrated !

I had so much fun listening Kevin Hart sharing his story. I learned a lot about work ethic and how you can actually achieve what you want in life if you truly believe in yourself and have good people around you! This book was my first Audible experience, so good so far. I highly recommend this book to anyone who want to laugh and learn at the same time!

What? Huh?

Kevin Hart was extremely entertaining even though he may inadvertently lead to some of the readers to contracting yellow fever or hepatitis B. The book felt more like a dialogue and storytelling than an autobiography. Very entertaining and he can't make this shit up, except maybe the stuff about David Beckham or Beyonce...don't think those were true. All in all, good listen and hope to meet Kevin Hart in person one day

Bahahahahaha

Absolutely freakin' h-i-l-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!!! You just simply have to read or better yet, listen to the man himself read and explain it all to you!! Fabulous Kevin!! Want more!!!

Hilarious! Inspirational! Loved this book!

The content of this book is one thing, hearing it peeformed by Kevin Hart is another. Loved the book. It will be on my list of books to hear again and again.

Good book for the drive home

I truly enjoyed listening to Kevin Hart read about the different challenges in his life. I wish he would have a gone in depth about the different things that both positively and negatively affect hidden first marriage. I would have love to hear more about the positive aspects of his first marriage.
