Publisher Description

NATIONAL BEST SELLER • A collection of quotes from the internationally acclaimed author of Wilddrawn from the wide range of her writingsthat capture her wisdom, courage, and outspoken humor, presented in a gift-sized package that's as irresistible to give as it is to receive.

"Cheryl Strayed is a tough-love truth-teller.... Brave Enough amount[s] to a galvanizing call to be bigger, bolder, more generous.” —The Washington Post


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.

“I loved this little book. It’s 135 pages of words and quotes that encourage bravery. It’s an honest little thing and encouraging. One that spoke to me the most was about how limits aren’t punishments—they are respectable realities of our needs and desires and express our capabilities….something like that.”
