Summary Of Do Hard Things By Alex And Brett

Do Hard Things, by Alex and Brett is a challenging book. It is written to teenagers to convince them of the need to overcome the stigma of low expectations. It goes through, in depth, the story of both Alex and Brett and all that they were able to accomplish by choosing to take risks beyond what people expect you to do. Many times, teenagers of today are expected to be rebellious and good-for-nothing until they are older. Alex and Brett set out to prove the world’s view of teenagers is wrong. They coined the term the “Rebelution.” This is a revolution to rebel against the low standards set by those around teenagers. In Do Hard Things, there are many stories of those who did extraordinary things. However, these things were not accomplished
all at once, but rather by taking small steps that led to doing great things. Doing small hard things is the beginning of the big hard things that can make such a visible difference. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it is a book that every teenager or pre-teen should read. It goes far beyond the standards set by the world and shows what one person can accomplish if they push themselves to break out of the mold that has been cast for them. I also like that it uses so many scripture references and gives credit to the Bible and Christianity. It is a book that challenges me to become a better person myself. It has convicted me of my own complacency with doing just what people expect. I would recommend that every parent, teacher, and preacher give this book to every teenager they know if they want to see a new generation that is on fire for God and willing to go beyond what is asked.
