I received a copy of Alex and Bret Harris's book Do Hard Things. At the time, I was very in to trying to be a good Christian boy, so I was really excited about their book. Their book isn't bad; but looking at it now, I see that it's mostly common sense. The premise of the book is to push yourself to do you things you didn't think you could, to grow as an individual and in your walk with Christ. That's a good premise, and I'm glad they wrote their book. But why is there so much hype about a book filled primarily with common sense?
Yes, the only way to grow as individual is to take yourself out of your comfort zone and do hard things. That's common sense though. That's all there is to say really.
I'm glad people like this book, but the advice in it isn't original. People have been pushing themselves to do hard things since before the Harris' boys were born. They have been providing examples through their lives since, well, probably the beginning of the world.
By the way, the book consists primarily of examples of people doing hard things and the results. That's cool, but you can just look around you to see that kind of stuff.
