Actor and comedian Kevin Hart grew up in North Philadelphia. 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. 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. 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?"

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.

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.

Marilyn Manson describes the bizarre collection of characters that formed his persona during a frightened Christian childhood. The Long Hard Road out of Hell is a journey from hospital emergency rooms via jail cells to music business stardom.

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