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 Decision, was nominated for an Audie award in 2021 for Best Original Audiobook.

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.

Love it!!

I have enjoyed all of the books I have heard/read by Kevin Hart so far! The only downside or wish I would like to see is - please make something for the younger generations who could REALLY benefit from this monster wisdom! I allowed my almost 9 year old to listen to this one because he and his family deal with these monsters daily. Of course he giggled at the language but understands our household doesn’t use language like this. We learned SO MUCH with the monsters we deal with and how to change our thought process to make them work FOR us and not AGAINST us! Thank you Mr. Hart and Audible! 😄

Pleasant, humorous and insightful

I enjoyed Kevin’s previous book ‘The Decision’ and thought I would enjoy his current book. He did not disappoint. Anyone who has read self help books know the basic principles of a meaningful life. Kevin delivers his rendition of mind chatter/little devil on your shoulder in a way that anyone can relate and he describes real life examples. I have listened to it twice and ready for a third.

Kevin never disappoints!

Another home run for Kevin Hart. This book kept me engaged with lots of great points to apply to my daily life. As usual Kevin Hart mixes in his comedy, I can’t say enough good things!

A true Paradigm shift

Monsters are our friends with a little training. This is one of the best, most insightful, fresh and enjoyably funny books as Kevin tackles real relatable issues that we all face daily. I’m a junior high teacher and I think my students could benefit from learning about these monsters in our heads. I will be referring to this book often and listen again and again as I pass on Kevin’s monster training techniques to my kids and my students. Thank you for the shift in seeing our monsters as teammates rather than something that has to be eliminated from our heads. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen! So good!

Motivating

I enjoyed this book, it is upbeat and fast paced with the information being given. "The Monsters", are things that hinder you from becoming your highest self. The book helps you focus on the things in your life that are the most important to you. He shares his monsters, defeats, and ultimately how he was able to gain control again. It feels like a conversation with a mentor; honest, relatable, and laugh out loud funny.
