Meet Kevin Hart: Laughing Through the Monsters
Kevin Hart isn’t just one of the most successful comedians on the planet — he’s a powerhouse of purpose, persistence, and personality. From selling out arenas with gut-busting stand-up to starring in hits like Jumanji, Ride Along, and True Story, Kevin’s story is one of hustle, heart, and humor.
But beneath the punchlines is a deeper message.
🎤 A Comedian With Courage
Sure, Kevin cracks jokes at his own expense, but when it comes to mental health, he gets serious — and real. In his Audible Original, “Monsters and How to Tame Them,” he opens up about the inner struggles we all face — that inner critic that whispers “you’re not enough,” or “you have to do more.”
He calls them monsters — and he believes we all have them.
💬 “We all battle with ourselves…”
“Am I doing enough? Am I good enough? Is this enough? Am I going to make it?”
— Kevin Hart
We hear that voice in our heads every day — but Kevin wants us to learn to tame it. His message? You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up, keep working, and keep loving what you do.
🎧 What You’ll Hear in the Podcast
On the Verywell Mind Podcast, Kevin dives into:
- Why everyone struggles with inner monsters
- How to tame your inner critic
- The pressure of being the “do-it-all” monster
- Why humor is one of our greatest strengths
- His advice to his 18-year-old self (spoiler: it’s gold)
And yes, he still finds a way to make us laugh.
💡 Why This Matters
We’re all wired to worry. Our brains tell us stories — that we’re not enough, or that failure is fatal. But those thoughts? They’re not facts.
“The big win is loving what you do,” Kevin says. “The big win is showing up. That’s enough.”
Kevin reminds us that mental strength isn’t about never struggling. It’s about learning how to live with your monsters — and still finding light, joy, and purpose.
🌈 Let the Sun Shine
“The world’s not supposed to be dark 24/7. The sun shines for a reason.” — Kevin Hart
