About this listen

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.

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.
