They discuss the history of the teenager, the origins of the word (and the period of life) and the consequences of the teen age. In this first section, Alex and Brett tell stories of the early lives of George Washington, Clara Barton, and David Farragut which seem superhuman by today's standards. Personally, that was my favorite part because it showed that the age of adolescence and young adulthood (along with its expectations of rebellion and relative mediocrity) is really quite new, and therefore most likely not God's plan for His children. The first section introduces the movement, its purpose, and its historical context. The book is divided up into three sections with approximately four chapters each. I'll try to explain that a little more in a second. For anyone not familiar with the Rebelution or Do Hard Things, the goal of the movement is a rebellion against low expectations. It's a message that many teenagers (and even adults) need to hear. More important than anything, though, is the content. It reads quickly and is engaging and interesting. I received my copy of DO HARD THINGS about two weeks ago and was able to finish it earlier this week. Book Review - DO HARD THINGS (Alex and Brett Harris)
