Cheryl Strayed is the author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things.\n\n\u201cThere's a long history, of women especially, saying 'Well, I just got lucky.' I didn't just get lucky. I worked my fucking ass off. And then I got lucky. And if I hadn't worked my ass off, I wouldn't have gotten lucky. You have to do the work. You always have to do the work.\u201d\n\nThanks to TinyLetter, Trunk Club, and HP Matter for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@CherylStrayed\ncherylstrayed.com\nThe Complete Dear Sugar Archive\nStrayed on Longform\n[1:00] Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail (Knopf \u2022 2012)\n[1:00] Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar (Vintage \u2022 2012)\n[4:00] "Dear Sugar #44: How You Get Unstuck" (The Rumpus \u2022 July 2010)\n[9:00] "What Wild Has Wrought" (Nicholas Kristof \u2022 May 2015 )\n[13:00] Torch (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt \u2022 2006)\n[28:00] "Dear Sugar #48: Write Like a Motherfucker" (The Rumpus \u2022 Aug 2010)\n[28:00] "Write Like a Motherfucker" coffee mug\n[1:11:00] Into the Wild (Jon Krakauer \u2022 Random House \u2022 1996)\n[1:13:00] "Oprah Talks to Cheryl Strayed" (O Magazine \u2022 July 2012)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
