I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons by Kevin Hart, Neil Strauss
3.0

I love Kevin Hart.
And I love dogs, sooooo this cover... (heart emoji).
SPOILER: There are no puppies in this story :(.

I love that Dave Attell helped Kevin on his way. I am a HUGE fan of Attell & he recognized Kevin's talent as soon as he saw him. Not everyone in the same circle is willing to assist another move ahead so I really respect that. Dave hooked Kevin up with his first manager.

He worked hard & hustled. Man, did he hustle. Taking the bus from Philly to NYC to perform for free just to get stage time. The past few stories I've read on comics seems like it is even harder to break into comedy than acting.

Kevin's advice re: those who support you & those who might not - Don't even invite them into the conversation! You already know what you want to dedicate yourself to, so you don't need their approval. He had some very good advice on listening to & trusting your self. And be ready for opportunities that present themselves even if it may not be how you pictured it, because it just may be your big breakthrough.

Is Kevin cocky? Yes, but he never let anyone on his team disrespect anyone else they worked with-ie club owners/bookers-while representing the Kevin Hart brand, so kudos for that.

Memorable moment: Getting so high with Snoop on the set of Soul Plane that he forgot how to open his eyes! LOL
