Do hard things is a non-fiction book. I chose this book because it was recomended to me by my dad, so i picked it up and he was right.


This book is written by two now young adults. In the book they tell stories of there childhood, high school, and post high school. However, the book is not a biography. much of the book is spent talking about "doing hard things". Its about rebelling against the low expectations put on teenagers today. The book talks about how two teenagers decided early they were goin to force themselves to do hard things. Things that would lead them to succes.


It then talks about how this hard work pays off for them. They get invited to any colleges they want, invited to sit in at the senate, and invited to speak all over the country. They wrote the book to try and convince as many teenagers as possible that doing hard things will lead you to anything you want to do. It is also written to parents to not have low expectations on your kids to raise the bar. The book is not something you would expect from a couple teenagers but there logic makes perfect sense and it is a gripping book.


The title of the book tells the whole story "do hard things" and raise your expectations the sole purpose of the book being written.
