“Do Hard Things”

Pre-Review

I’ve never before now offered a book review on a book I hadn’t even started to read. Call this a pre-review instead.

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Brett Harris arrived in the mail yesterday. I showed it to my sixteen-year-old son and told him I’d like us to go through it a chapter a week. Jonathan will spend a lot of time reading things that interest him, and no time at all on anything else.

Well, he stayed up so late reading it last night that he was late getting up for school today. If that isn’t a good sign, I don’t know what is. Now I’ll have to fight him for my chance to read it.

The authors have a website for the book.

    Thanks, I’ve found raising a teenager to be quite challenging, hopefully my son will be as impressed as yours. Looking forward to discussing it with him.

    I put this on my to buy list! I teach teens, which is challenging too, though raising teens is a task I don’t envy.
