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. The question you’re probably asking yourself right now is:
What does Kevin Hart have that a book also has? According to the three people who have seen Kevin Hart and a
book in the same room, the answer is clear: A book is compact. Kevin Hart is compact. A book has a spine that holds it together. Kevin Hart has a
spine that holds him together. A book has a beginning. Kevin Hart’s life uniquely qualifies
him to write this book by also having a beginning. 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, JK Rowling, and
Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and
turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes the reader
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?”
