Do Hard Things – The Book

Alex and Brett Harris have finished what looks like a really great book. The Harris brothers have been working on it for a long while now, and I am pretty excited that it is finally done. Here is an excerpt that will basically sum up what kind of book it is.

A Different Kind of Teen Book

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.

Well, we do.

This is a different kind of teen book. Check online or walk through your local bookstore. You’ll find plenty of books written by fortysomethings who, like, totally understand what it’s like being a teenager. You’ll find a lot of cheap, throwaway books for teens, because young people today aren’t supposed to care much about books, or see any reason to keep them around. And you’ll find a wide selection of books where you never have to read anything twice ‘“ because it’s been dumbed down. Like, just for you.

What you’re holding in your hands right now is a challenging, hardcover book for teens by two teens who believe our generation is ready for a change. Ready for something that doesn’t promise a whole new life if you’ll just buy the right pair of jeans or use the right brand of deodorant. We believe our generation is ready to rethink what teens are capable of doing and becoming. And we’ve noticed that once wrong ideas are debunked and cleared away, our generation is quick to choose a better way, even if it’s also more difficult.

Wow! Isn’t that exciting?! I can’t wait for this book to come out. It’s really going to make an impact on people. I’ve already ordered my copy, why don’t you? The regular price is $16.00, but I found it on sale at www.overstock.com for $13.00. Order it there!
