      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.

    • 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.

      Undercover in the secret society of pickup artists

      Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author and journalist, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the last decade—guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever. On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange—and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of this generation.
