About this item

From beloved comedian and #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Hart comes an irreverent but inspirational take on what happens when you’re gripping the steering wheel of your life so tight that you’re about to run the whole thing off the road—and how to change into a happier gear.

Join Kevin Hart as he identifies and battles one of the biggest obstacles to happiness—what he calls the Control Monster. This fearsome beast loves telling others what to do so that you feel safe and they feel miserable. Other times, the need to stay in control means hiding, avoiding everyone and everything that makes you uncomfortable. This means avoiding love and success too.

Kevin looks at how control issues have shown up in his own life and how they might show up in yours. This masterclass homes in on why micromanaging your life and other people can lead to toxic relationships, stress, failure, and just generally being annoying to be around. He shares the secrets to getting your Control Monster under control and learning the life-saving power of trust.


From the Publisher

From stress to success.

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Kevin Hart

Stop controlling. Start living.

Most self-help books are very wordy and navel-gazy. This is neither of those things and that's what makes it such a good read. It's thoughtful but tells an important story. It makes you think without having to do a workbook. I'll come back to this one more than once just to make sure I'm not falling into the same old traps. Self realization is powerful, and Kevin gets that.

"Nugget alert. Just because people aren’t like you doesn’t mean they’re not capable. Because there’s only one you. There are not going to be more versions of you. You can’t judge others by comparing them to yourself. You have to let people show you what they’re capable of. Because when you’re so worried about people doing it wrong, you never give them a chance to do it right."
Excerpt, It Will All Work Out

This was a comical, short and neatly managed inspirational piece about what it means to drift away from your chosen path and perhaps find your way back. He introduces a concept called the Control Monster which is a part of your internal navigational system. He describes it as a fearsome beast that manages your need to control a multitude of situations that you tend to not have nor need control over. This book is a guide to how to overcome and defeat this very thing. He says, "Any form of control is really just protection. And you get protective because you’re afraid. And you’re afraid because you don’t trust. Let me say it again: Any form of control, at the end of the day, is really just protection. And you get protective because you’re afraid of something bad happening. And the reason you’re afraid of something bad happening again is because you don’t trust yourself or others to handle a situation."

It is great content, perhaps not in the best format. I would have loved to see info presented perhaps live in a podcast or show format. I couldn't get his voice out of my head, which actually worked well for me. Check it out for yourself!

3.5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kevin Hart shares his self evaluation, and some of his thoughts may also apply to me
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024
Kevin Hart presents a serious subject in a friendly humorous way. I too have a monster and he was exactly right when he described where it came from. I appreciate his message and will give it strong thought. I will implement some of it but I'm still dealing with the people that I developed these defenses for. The defenses work still in these situations - I think. But in newer areas, yes. I will try to be aware. This was an interesting book as Kevin Hart shares his thoughts and experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good!
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023
I picked this up on a whim. It's one of the free books offered by Amazon Prime Reading for July 2023, and I've always liked Kevin Hart so I chose this.It's actually an essay. He writes about his journey in overcoming his controlling tendencies and learning to truly live life in a healthy way. It's very evident that since his terrible car accident he's gained a new perspective. He also gives advice to the reader.

I really enjoyed this. I like his style! One thing really boggled my mind was something he included. I had just finished reading Confessions by St. Augustine of Hippo. I picked this up as lighter fare right after, and lo and behold he quoted St. Augustine on page 6: “The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder." What are the odds?

This is a very short essay at around 43 pages. He has written others and they're on Amazon, so this won't be the last that I'll read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some good, quick hitting, advice.

Advice always seems easier to take when delivered humorously. Kevin does this as well as anyone, and because he's so multifaceted, you can literally hear him saying these things. Great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary language
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
I did like the realness to the book and how it felt like Kevin Hart was talking straight to me. I didn’t like the cussing. It’s an easy, quick read. There are some good nuggets about not letting control rule you, true happiness & how to obtain it. Definitely an adult book due to profanity.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Humor
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
I got this as an Amazon First Reads book expecting some humor. Instead it was a very, very short book on control.

There were some really good advice about the different types of control that people may have and ways in ehich a person can confront it to become self-control, butI was not interested in it overall.
