Publisher's summary

You’ve seen Kevin Hart rule the stand-up circuit. You’ve watched him take over Hollywood. You’ve even seen him slay the New York Times best seller list. Now he’s going to help you own your monsters.

Following his popular titles I Can’t Make This Up and The Decision, Kevin is back sharing the practical wisdom that he’s gained from a profound, life-changing event. Monsters and How to Tame Them is Kevin’s most recent guide on how to live your best life, wrapped in his signature honesty, hilarious voice, and adept storytelling. You’ve heard stories about vampires, zombies, and ghosts. Now it’s time to meet some of the monsters that haunt your mind. Kevin will introduce you to Control Monster, or the need to control everyone and everything around you that ultimately limits your chance to grow. Then there’s Comparison Monster. This one makes you compare yourself to others, causing irrational jealousy. You’ll also meet Approval Monster, that nagging feeling deep down inside you that just wants likes and approval from the entire world, which leads to endless emptiness.

If you’re afraid of these monsters and more lurking around every dark corner, let Kevin, the monster hunter, show you how to train those bad tendencies we all have in the recesses of our minds. But first, you’ll have to look and see who or what is hiding under your bed. Kevin’s got you. Now get them.

About the Creator and Performer

Emmy and Grammy nominee Kevin Hart was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he launched his career as a comedian at an amateur night at a local comedy club. Over the years, Hart has become Hollywood’s box office powerhouse, opening ten films at #1 at the box office and grossing more than $4.23 billion in global revenue. Hart has also become a successful entrepreneur: He is chairman of Hartbeat Productions, a global, multi-platform media company creating entertainment at the intersection of comedy and culture with a mission to keep the world laughing together. The next generation media company unites Hartbeat Productions’ best-in-class TV and film production capabilities with Laugh Out Loud’s expansive distribution network, along with its marketing, sales, experiential, branded content, digital, and social capabilities. Hart is also the founder of Hartbeat Ventures; together, these two companies play an integral role in building Hart’s ecosystem for extraordinary growth and creativity.
Hart continues to develop, star in, and produce feature films, television, and podcasts via Hartbeat for his various partners, which include Netflix, Peacock, Sirius XM, and Audible. Hart is currently touring nationally with his eighth hour of stand-up material, The Reality Check Tour. In 2020, Hart released his seventh hour-long stand-up special Zero F**ks Given, which quickly became Netflix's biggest stand-up special of 2020 and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. Hart also earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for Die Hart, along with an Emmy nomination for his docuseries Don’t F**k This Up. Kevin is a New York Times best-selling author twice over and his first Audible original, *The Decisionv, was nominated for an Audie award in 2021 for Best Original Audiobook.

Entertaining, not useful

This doesn’t feel like the true ideas of kevin Hart, instead advice for what he thinks normal people deal with, not really himself, and its just to general, the ideas do and don’t apply to different situations, this book is trying to fit a shapeshifting block into a square hole, with perfect situations and things going specific ways, but this is as if a random team of people put this together then kevin gave it a once over to add jokes and a bit of detail, overall disappointing considering how good his life story book was.

Thought provoking

Good insights to think about but just a bit too much on the "F" bombs!

Kevin Hart you did it again man!

I loved it. Very insightful, funny & life changing. I suggest everyone I know to take the time to check this out. Matter fact I demand it! Taking the time to take in the knowledge shows me how determined someone is tours their development & growth as a person. I’m always following up with Kevin Hart’s interviews & videos where I can pick his brain & steal a few pages of his book. I hope to meet the man one day. I hope this becomes a book so I can
Highlight the detrimental things that stood out to me the most. Much love Kevin Hart! Thank you for the time you took to put this together! I guess there were Monsters under our bed all along. Kevin pulled each one of them
Out & tamed them all one by one!

MUST LISTEN

I'm going to try to get my entire family to listen to this.
If I can accomplish this I believe me and my family will all be on the same page in life.
Kevin Hart just so you know, I believe you are a genius in the things that you do. You made it so easy to understand your book I believe any person at any age can understand all the Golden nuggets that you've dropped in this audio book.
I Love all your books and if it doesn't interfere with your family time hope that you right and read many more.
You reading the book made me enjoy that much more.

Diluted Message Due to Severe Profanity 😔

I'm a big fan of Kevin Hart, so I purchased this book. I'm not sure why or how he came to the conclusion that someone/anyone would want to listen to endless profanity fly out his mouth. My goodness, huge opportunity missed to connect with a younger audience. I can even finish the 📖. Sorry Kev, thumbs down on this one. 👎🏽

On point message

The message is on point however, there is too much unnecessary gratuitous foul mouth… so I just turned out and then I turned off.

Helpful and well explained

I really enjoyed this and thought it was helpful. The control monster in me wants to make everyone hear it. 😁 I am sure I will go back and re-listen to some chapters.

I haven’t listened to The Decision. I hadn’t heard of that one before this, and you don’t need to have listened to that one first, but I will definitely listen to that one too.

Highly recommend!

Monsters….monsters…monsters

Somewhat entertaining, not really the best self help book out there. If I could I’d probably ask for a refund.
