From a legendary music producer renowned for fostering creativity, this beautifully crafted book distills years of wisdom into a guide for all.

Through deep contemplation on the essence of creativity, he reveals that being an artist transcends mere output; it's about one's relationship with the world. Creativity is essential in everyone's life, and expanding its role is a vital responsibility. This work serves as a generous course of study, illuminating the artist's path as one accessible to all. It encapsulates a lifetime of insights into a luminous reading experience, empowering everyone to create moments of exhilaration and transcendence.

„Kdo chce hýbat světem, musí nejdřív pohnout sám sebou.“ (Sokrates) Kevin Hart se narodil jako nehoda, jehož otec byl drogově závislý a matka přísná. Jeho bratr se potýkal s kriminální činností. Přestože měl Hart v dětství mnoho překážek, dokázal překonat těžké časy a stát se jedním z nejznámějších komiků na světě. Ve své knižní prvotině sdílí svůj životní příběh od dětství až po současnost, ukazuje, jak se vyrovnal s výzvami, které mu osud postavil do cesty. Díky tvrdé práci, talentu a jedinečnému pohledu na svět se mu podařilo vyprodávat fotbalové stadiony a jeho filmy vynesly přes 3,5 miliardy dolarů. Hart vnímá život jako sérii kapitol, které píší on a lidé kolem něj. „Život je příběh, sled kapitol. Je na vás, jak interpretujete jednotlivé kapitoly, a vaše interpretace určuje další kapitolu. Můžete si vybrat, zda to bude komedie nebo tragédie, příběh o vzestupu nebo pádu. I když nemůžete ovlivnit, co se vám stane, můžete rozhodnout, jak to budete vidět. Proč si tedy nevybrat ten nejlepší příběh pro svůj život?“

"Kevin Hart was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero. But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, JK Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds. In his literary debut, he takes the reader on a journey through what his life was, what it is now, and how he's overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent, but through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself."--Back cover

Neil Strauss ist Schriftsteller und Journalist. Und sexsüchtig. Auf seine smarte, direkte Art geht er den Themen nach, die Frau und Mann wirklich bewegen: Liebe, Sex, Partnerschaft. Sein Weg führt ihn von viagragetriebenen Orgien über hochseriöse wissenschaftliche Testserien bis in einen modernen Harem. Dabei bleibt Strauss immer schonungslos ehrlich. Jeder von uns hat seine eigene nackte Wahrheit – und falls nicht, werden Sie beim Lesen trotzdem eine verdammt gute Zeit haben …

This account is not a journalistic endeavor but a brutally honest reflection on a personal crisis stemming from my own actions. It involves sharing aspects I'm not proud of and some I feel I should regret more than I do. Unfortunately, I am not the hero but the villain in this story. This narrative is a long-awaited follow-up to a previous work that ignited the "seduction community," making me a household name among singles. Here, I confront my greatest challenge: relationships. This wild and entertaining exploration addresses pressing questions: Is lifelong fidelity natural? Do alternatives to monogamy enhance relationships and happiness? What attracts us to our partners? Can we maintain passion over time? My quest for answers leads me through Viagra-fueled orgies, sex addiction clinics, cutting-edge science labs, modern harems, and even to my mother. The revelations I encountered transformed my understanding of love, sex, and relationships, as well as my own identity. This searingly honest narrative is compelling and may alter your perspective on these themes. If the previous work taught you how to meet potential partners, this one will guide you on how to maintain those connections.
