A Pep Talk by Kevin Hart
Review of the Amazon Original Stories Kindle eBook (November 1, 2022)

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. - Maya Angelou (used as the epigraph for this book).

Actor & comedian Kevin Hart seems to have quite a separate career with his self-help / life lesson books. This Is How We Do It takes the form of a short 66 page 'pep talk' broken into "Fifteen Tools For Your Best Life", often with slightly obscure titles (which are eventually explained) such as 'What-Is-Ness' (meaning accept what is that you can't change), 'Cowboying Up' (accept responsibility), 'Sponginess' (soak up knowledge) etc.

It mostly reads like common sense, but it is still affirming to have it all listed in quick order, and certainly Hart's own career success is a good example of it working.

A segment makes it seem as if this was originally an audiobook, Hart refers to the listener perhaps hearing his stomach growling, but no such audiobook yet exists. Perhaps a future release yet to come.
