Do Hard Things

"Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. We Do." - Alex and Brett Harris


I have recently finished reading the book "Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris. The book is about A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations. The book really touched me. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those in the teen years. I have never realized how important it is for me and other teenagers/young adults to make an impact. We can really Do Hard Things. We can do what our society doesn't expect us to do.

The book is written in three parts: Rethinking The Teen Years, Five Kinds Of Hard, and Join The Rebelution. Within those three parts there is a couple chapters. This book speaks about everything that involves teens. The thing that struck me most about this book was when it said that teens can do a lot more than is expected of them. This spoke to me because there has been a lot of things that I thought I couldn't do but after reading this book I realized that it is possible. For example, I can't remember the last time I finished reading a book, from front to back. But I challenged my self to finish this book and that is what happened. With God's help and my determination I finished.

I would suggest that every teenager read this book. It has impacted my life, and I believe that it will impact everyone that reads it.
