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.

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 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.

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.

Well presented, simple enough, and makes you smile all along while listening to his introspection of his own monsters…

Monster hunter is memorable

Obviously the monsters were simple but good reminders with Harts unique storytelling, flare and humor. Although I really appreciate his voice and him attempting to entertain and keep it light, I found it distracting and harder to take the lessons seriously. Overall good points and not dry.

Don’t sleep on Kevin heart.

I loved this so much. Relatable, real and authentic. Puts the constant chatter in our brains into perspective from a human who seemingly has it all. I actually laughed out loud. This man is good at his craft. 5/5

Someone give Kevin a monster catcher award

From beginning to end this book makes sense. It explains some of the basic demons we all battle everyday. Kevin puts into simple words what most of us try to explain but can’t. He doesn’t only identify the monsters but gives solutions on how to get them under control. Worth listening to again!
