Summary: 5 Stars
Teens are wired to rebel. They need to create a distance from others' expectations and try on different identities to find their own. But is it sufficient to only discover what you don't want to be or don't like to do? What about finding out who you are and what you can do? It is difficult to find out who you really are by just thinking about it. But you will find out by challenging yourself to exceed everyone's expectations and by turning your potential into reality.
I love the focus of this book! Whoever you are, rebel against any person and any idea that says you cannot accomplish great things. Many of us look back at our teen years as time wasted waiting for our "real" lives to start. What are you waiting for? Why not courageously find and do something great? Half-hearted living can be a lethal habit to form at a young age. Rather than worry about what you'll do someday, why not ask what wonderful adventures you can launch right now!
Eric and Brett Harris's "Do Hard Things" does an outstanding job at spreading a motivational message. These young men do not have the experience of long lives (yet), but this allows them to connect and have credibility with teens. I am persuaded by them and by my own life experiences that the best way to keep teens out of trouble is not to load on the "shall nots", but to help them focus on positive activities for which they have a passion. This book has and will successfully inspire many teens to find and pursue life-enhancing and life-changing deeds. Co-author of ARROWS THROUGH TIME: A Time Travel Tale of Adventure, Courage, and Faith.
Summary of Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
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 BrettMarriage & Family Books
