„Kdo chce hýbat světem, musí nejdřív pohnout sám sebou.“ (Sokrates) Kevin Hart se narodil jako nehoda, jehož otec byl drogově závislý a matka přísná. Jeho bratr se potýkal s kriminální činností. Přestože měl Hart v dětství mnoho překážek, dokázal překonat těžké časy a stát se jedním z nejznámějších komiků na světě. Ve své knižní prvotině sdílí svůj životní příběh od dětství až po současnost, ukazuje, jak se vyrovnal s výzvami, které mu osud postavil do cesty. Díky tvrdé práci, talentu a jedinečnému pohledu na svět se mu podařilo vyprodávat fotbalové stadiony a jeho filmy vynesly přes 3,5 miliardy dolarů. Hart vnímá život jako sérii kapitol, které píší on a lidé kolem něj. „Život je příběh, sled kapitol. Je na vás, jak interpretujete jednotlivé kapitoly, a vaše interpretace určuje další kapitolu. Můžete si vybrat, zda to bude komedie nebo tragédie, příběh o vzestupu nebo pádu. I když nemůžete ovlivnit, co se vám stane, můžete rozhodnout, jak to budete vidět. Proč si tedy nevybrat ten nejlepší příběh pro svůj život?“

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word in this heartfelt and inspirational memoir about survival, success, and self-belief. Born in North Philadelphia to an unwanted childhood, Hart faced overwhelming odds: a drug-addicted father, a brother involved in crime, and a strict mother who used physical discipline. Despite these challenges, he defied the odds, much like other literary giants, and transformed his life. In his literary debut, Hart shares his journey from a troubled youth to becoming the world’s biggest comedian, with sold-out stadium tours and films grossing over $3.5 billion. His success stems not only from hard work and talent but from his unique perspective on life. Hart views life as a series of chapters that each person writes for themselves, emphasizing the power of interpretation in shaping one’s narrative. He encourages readers to choose interpretations that serve their lives best, making this memoir more than just a personal story. It serves as a training manual for cultivating a positive, drama-free outlook and a code of conduct that can help readers pursue their biggest dreams. Candid and wickedly funny, this memoir is unforgettable and transformative.

Neil Strauss ist Schriftsteller und Journalist. Und sexsüchtig. Auf seine smarte, direkte Art geht er den Themen nach, die Frau und Mann wirklich bewegen: Liebe, Sex, Partnerschaft. Sein Weg führt ihn von viagragetriebenen Orgien über hochseriöse wissenschaftliche Testserien bis in einen modernen Harem. Dabei bleibt Strauss immer schonungslos ehrlich. Jeder von uns hat seine eigene nackte Wahrheit – und falls nicht, werden Sie beim Lesen trotzdem eine verdammt gute Zeit haben …

This account is not a journalistic endeavor but a brutally honest reflection on a personal crisis stemming from my own actions. It involves sharing aspects I'm not proud of and some I feel I should regret more than I do. Unfortunately, I am not the hero but the villain in this story. This narrative is a long-awaited follow-up to a previous work that ignited the "seduction community," making me a household name among singles. Here, I confront my greatest challenge: relationships. This wild and entertaining exploration addresses pressing questions: Is lifelong fidelity natural? Do alternatives to monogamy enhance relationships and happiness? What attracts us to our partners? Can we maintain passion over time? My quest for answers leads me through Viagra-fueled orgies, sex addiction clinics, cutting-edge science labs, modern harems, and even to my mother. The revelations I encountered transformed my understanding of love, sex, and relationships, as well as my own identity. This searingly honest narrative is compelling and may alter your perspective on these themes. If the previous work taught you how to meet potential partners, this one will guide you on how to maintain those connections.
