I loved this book! These two incredible teen authors break the mold of the "typical teenager" and share their wonderful advice to other teens on how to prove the "lazy teenager" stereotype wrong.
A MUST READ FOR ALL TEENS (AND SOME ADULTS TOO!)

I picked up this book at my cousins house while I was visiting PA. It belonged to her young son (17 yrs). I could not put it down. When he ask if he could read "his" book I felt guilty and ordered my own. I plan on sharing it with every teen I know.
This is a great book for all teen leaders to read and share. It is very inspiring, even for retired folks like me.

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations Although this book is an excellent read for teens and young adults it is also very useful for parents and for those who work with young adults. The examples they give are real and clear and they make young people realize they must raise the bar in their lives and do things which may be hard and certainly go beyond what is expected or required. This is a book to read and to give as gifts to the important young people in your lives.
Insightful and informative. A must-read for youth! August 31, 2008

This is a fabulous book not only for teens but adults as well. Do Hard Things is so well written, I'm amazed (not to mention impressed) that it was penned by two eloquent young adults. It's clear to me that the authors have a great amount of insight and wisdom from personal experience that they have brought to the table with this book. Everyone wants their teens to do great things. So why not get a copy of this book for your church's youth group and start a rebelution at your church?
I loved the part of the book where a teen felt saddened when they overheard someone say something like, "Well at least they aren't on drugs." Isn't that so true how many people don't expect much, and they are happy to settle with the fact that their teens are passable in life, or say it could be worse? Our kids these days seem to think that they can just grow up and somehow survive and also afford the fun stuff they can buy now (while they live at home.) So NOT true. I remind my boys every day about how expensive life is. But even more than that, the culture we live in truly doesn't expect enough from our young people. This book is an encouragement and a launching place for young people to begin changing their lives so they can make an impact on our world today. I wish all teens would read this book. I would take it a step further and even suggest it be required reading for high school students and college freshmen. These kids need to hear that they can change the world.
