Synopsis

In Do Hard Things, the Harris brothers attempt to "explode the myth of adolescence," and show that prior to the 20th century, a person was an adult or a child.[5] The book challenges teenagers to go beyond their comfort zone,[6] and, in essence, "do hard things." The foreword was contributed by Chuck Norris.
