„Kdo chce hýbat světem, musí nejdřív pohnout sám sebou.“ (Sokrates) Kevin Hart se narodil jako nehoda, jehož otec byl drogově závislý a matka přísná. Jeho bratr se potýkal s kriminální činností. Přestože měl Hart v dětství mnoho překážek, dokázal překonat těžké časy a stát se jedním z nejznámějších komiků na světě. Ve své knižní prvotině sdílí svůj životní příběh od dětství až po současnost, ukazuje, jak se vyrovnal s výzvami, které mu osud postavil do cesty. Díky tvrdé práci, talentu a jedinečnému pohledu na svět se mu podařilo vyprodávat fotbalové stadiony a jeho filmy vynesly přes 3,5 miliardy dolarů. Hart vnímá život jako sérii kapitol, které píší on a lidé kolem něj. „Život je příběh, sled kapitol. Je na vás, jak interpretujete jednotlivé kapitoly, a vaše interpretace určuje další kapitolu. Můžete si vybrat, zda to bude komedie nebo tragédie, příběh o vzestupu nebo pádu. I když nemůžete ovlivnit, co se vám stane, můžete rozhodnout, jak to budete vidět. Proč si tedy nevybrat ten nejlepší příběh pro svůj život?“

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word in this heartfelt and inspirational memoir about survival, success, and self-belief. Born in North Philadelphia to an unwanted childhood, Hart faced overwhelming odds: a drug-addicted father, a brother involved in crime, and a strict mother who used physical discipline. Despite these challenges, he defied the odds, much like other literary giants, and transformed his life. In his literary debut, Hart shares his journey from a troubled youth to becoming the world’s biggest comedian, with sold-out stadium tours and films grossing over $3.5 billion. His success stems not only from hard work and talent but from his unique perspective on life. Hart views life as a series of chapters that each person writes for themselves, emphasizing the power of interpretation in shaping one’s narrative. He encourages readers to choose interpretations that serve their lives best, making this memoir more than just a personal story. It serves as a training manual for cultivating a positive, drama-free outlook and a code of conduct that can help readers pursue their biggest dreams. Candid and wickedly funny, this memoir is unforgettable and transformative.

From the author of the blockbuster best-seller The Game comes a shockingly personal and brutally honest memoir that confronts the greatest challenge of his life: monogamy and fidelity. Neil Strauss, once a scrawny, insecure nerd, transformed into the ultra-confident "pickup artist" known as Style, gaining fame through his instructive account of seduction that jump-started the international "seduction community." This newfound ability to attract women led him to view life as a constant parade of sexual opportunities, sidelining intimacy and long-term commitment. However, everything changed when he met a woman who compelled him to choose between her and his previous lifestyle. This wrenching decision forced Strauss to delve into his past, confronting the moral implications of his pickup lifestyle and a painful childhood mystery that shaped his identity. His journey revealed the extremes of his behavior and prompted him to question his understanding of relationships and the dynamics between men and women. Ultimately, this experience transformed him, leaving him forever changed.

From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Game and Emergency comes a new collection of candid, hysterical, revealing short-form celebrity interviews.

He outlines a comprehensive system of game, sharing his latest, field-tested strategies. Inside, readers will find a list of attraction triggers, innovative techniques for approaching strangers, and his most effective humor strategy, the Absurd, to keep conversations flowing.

Now, it’s your chance to dive into the game and elevate your skills.

Combining wit and journalistic detail, "Plan B" follows Strauss's journey toward obtaining a second citizenship in a small Caribbean island--and offers a wry commentary on the future of America in a time of uncertainty.

Comics are used as illustrations throughout the book, detailing survival techniques.
