In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his 53-year relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But, as he says, "No description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian". He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland.

In This Is Me, Chrissy Metz shares her story with a raw honesty that will leave listeners both surprised but also inspired. Infused with the same authenticity she brings to her starring role, Chrissy's This Is Me is so much more than your standard Hollywood memoir or collection of personal essays. She embraces the spirit of Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes and shares how she has applied the lessons she learned from both setbacks and successes. A born entertainer, Chrissy finds light in even her darkest moments and leaves the listener feeling they are spending time with a friend who gets it.

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?"

5☆ Book All The Way Through!
This is one of my favorite books I have ever read! Kevin Hart narrating made the book even better. As good as the written version would be, the audio version by Kevin brought so much more laughs to it.
My most memorable part, gosh there were so many. There were so many times that I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants, more than once that is!
This book has so many good life lessons in it. I think any young adult open to learning from another, could learn some hard lessons the easier way by following what Kevin has learned and passed along to the reader. I hope to get my nephew, who has not had the easiest life, to listen to this. I really think Kevin shared some valuable insights into life and growing up that most can relate to regardless of age, race, or background. He did this through humor, which is the best way to learn.
There were a couple spots where Kevin goes off on a rant that actually lost me. Maybe if I re listen to it I will pick up on what he was talking about, but at the time I just had no clue what he was talking about.
I think this book would appeal to most people. However, if some swearing & sexual talk offends you, then this may not be the book for you. By no means does Kevin swear every second word nor does he constantly make reference to sex or sexual topics, but they do exist throughout, so be aware.
I do believe this is the first book after being on Audible for about one year now, that I have rated 5☆ all across the board! My ribs actually hurt from laughing so hard and so much.

Hilarious hardcore truth
In true Kevin Hart fashion he tells it like it is and it’s beautiful. There were sections that I had to repeat back so my brother could hear and understand that. Yes. Life is a bitch. But if you stop making the same damn mistakes over and over it will get better. I think it helped him hearing it directly from one of his idols and not just his annoying older sisters mouth. Good Job Kevin. You deserve everything you have and I don’t know if you’ll read these reviews ( I doubt you do) but it gave me a lot of hope too. Been dark days lately kev and this book made them a little brighter so thank you. 10/10 will read again. I wish it wasn’t the first book I listened to on here actually because now the rest are going to sound like shit. Thanks again for sharing your story! - Julia Bugden Newfoundland Canada

Great Book for Kevin Hart fans
I really liked the book as it gave me insights into Kevin Hart's shows!
Not a comedic book (even if I laughed a little), really more of a biography told by Kevin Hart himself!
