Summary

1. Why Cheryl chose Strayed as her last name – the only one not given to her by a man. 2. How she ruined her life when her mom died, and how we can bear the unbearable. 3. Cheryl’s greatest lesson from her 3-month hike of the PCT, and her mom’s advice she uses everyday. 4. How to make peace with our ITS – “inner terrible someone” – who lives in each of us. 5. Why and how Cheryl is now exploring: “Can I be happy if my kids aren’t?” About Cheryl: Cheryl Strayed is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Wild, as well as the bestsellers Tiny Beautiful Things, Brave Enough, and Torch.
