Every day, Glennon Doyle thinks: Why can't I be happy? Am I doing this right? The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers she's spent her life learning. She wonders: I've overcome a hell of a lot. Why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know?
Glennon's compasses are her sister, Amanda, and her wife, Abby. Recently, in the span of a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia, Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Abby's beloved brother died. For the first time, they were all lost at the same time. So they turned toward the only thing that's ever helped them find their way: deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind, wise people.
They asked each other, their dearest friends, and 118 of the world's most brilliant wayfinders: As you've traveled these roads - have you collected any wisdom that might help us find our way?
The answers revealed two things:
- No matter what road we are walking down, someone else has traveled the same terrain.
- The wisdom of our fellow travelers will light our way.
They put all of that wisdom in one place: We Can Do Hard Things a place to turn when you feel clueless and alone, when you need clarity in the chaos, or when you want wise company on the path of life.
