From the best-selling author of Wild, a collection of quotes--drawn from the wide range of her writings--that capture her wisdom, courage, and outspoken humor, presented in a gift-sized package that's as irresistible to give as it is to receive.Around the world, thousands of people have found inspiration in the words of Cheryl Strayed, who in her three prior books and in her "Dear Sugar" columns has shared the twists and trials of her remarkable life. Her honesty, spirit, and ample supply of tough love have enabled many of us, even in the darkest hours, to somehow put one foot in front of the other--and be brave enough.      This book gathers, each on a single page, more than 100 of Strayed's indelible quotes and thoughts--"mini instruction manuals for the soul" that urge us toward the incredible capacity for love, compassion, forgiveness, and endurance that is within us all.       Be brave enough to break your own heart.      You can't ride to the fair unless you get on the pony.       Keep walking.       Acceptance is a small, quiet room.       Romantic love is not a competitive sport.      Forward is the direction of real life.       Ask yourself: What is the best I can do? And then do that.

She is right in that when we read something that strikes a chord, in a way it becomes a...

3.0 Brave Enough by Cheryl Strayed
Having read both Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things I recognized most of the quotes in this book. Although some quotes stand well on their own, others lack substance with out the full context of which they speak of. I have read Tiny Beautiful Things more than once and find its raw honesty and wisdom ins...

Cheryl Strayed is good at simile and metaphor (something I am not). Having just finished Wild and being in the middle of rereading Tiny Beautiful Things, I recognized many of the quotes in this book. It might be a good book to have lying around to read a page when you're feeling a little lost or hop...

I still feel ambivalent of a book of quotes from a living author, but Strayed's introduction alleviated some of that angst. Still, maybe in a few years this will be a little more positive than just inspirational quotes. A nice addition would have been where the quote came from book-wise so I could r...
