I Can’t Make This Up Life Lessons - By Kevin Hart
I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons" by Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart delivers in his laugh out loud audiobook. Kevin Hart shines in the world of comedy and his audiobook, "I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons," is entertaining and conversational. I smiled when I looked and saw that I had over 10 hours of listening to Hart’s audiobook. It was exciting to get in my car and get back to Hart’s audiobook that kept me company during my travels. Hart’s voice sounds smooth during the serious parts of the audiobook and like stand-up comedy during the funny parts. Hart shows his wittiness, resilience, and larger-than-life personality. The audiobook is weaved into life lessons, much like the phases of Hart’s life, starting out with life lessons from his dad. Each chapter engages you with laugh-out-loud anecdotes that often segue into a deeper story as Hart shares the struggles that shaped him. From his urban childhood in Philadelphia, to his promising future in athletic shoe sales, early days hustling on the stand-up circuit, every low point is juxtaposed with humor and a teachable moment. What stands out most in Hart's narrative is his resilience, how he indirectly learned from his father, learned by example from his mother, and his relentless work ethic. He shares how he was skilled in sales, naturally funny, honed his craft, the rejections he faced, and how each setback became a setup for a comeback. His storytelling voice earns the listener’s respect just as much as his ability to make them laugh. As a compliment to his comedic storytelling, Hart offers genuine life lessons including the importance of family, it’s ok not to be perfect, staying true to oneself, setting goals, and surrounding oneself with the right people. What truly transforms this audiobook into a gem is Hart's relatable honesty whether discussing his mother and father, or the nuances of becoming famous, he does so with honesty that enables listeners to see beyond the actor/comedian and recognize the man and his vulnerabilities. He's unafraid to sadly admit he has a hard time enjoying laughter himself with having a job to keep others laughing. The brutal honesty in his voice is a refreshing departure from the typical celebrity memoir that may skim over family secrets like addiction and views about private physical attributes among the men in the family. "I Can't Make This Up" is entertaining to listen to and leaves you wanting to hear more. At times I felt like I was listening to a stand-up comedy show. Hart’s voice draws you in and brings you close; you can visualize his words and he is a master storyteller that strikes perfectly poignant moments mixed with humor. Listeners can expect to be fascinated by Hart’s storytelling about persistence while pursuing his passion, and the humor is a bonus. In conclusion, Kevin Hart's "I Can't Make This Up" is a fun ride especially if you are listening in your car. Warning - don’t get lost in the audiobook while driving, I was laughing and missed my exit! I’m giving Mr. Kevin Hart a Distracted Driving Audiobook Award for causing me to lose my direction!
