I've been wanting to read this one ever since I read Wild and fell in love with it. Cheryl Strayed definitely has a way with words. I took this book and the advice offered in it with a grain of salt because as the author herself states, she has no technical qualifications to be giving advice. That being said, I viewed this less as a self-help book and more as a collection of experiences and stories from which to draw meaning ... or not. Whatever floats your boat. It seems that Cheryl is a highly empathetic and wise person, having truly meditated on and learned from her own experiences. She shared beautiful sentiments and made me want to change my life, just a little.

My favorite section was That Ecstatic Parade. It really fit where I am in life. And probably not in the way you're thinking if you've read this. But in the advice she gives.
