Answers to Life’s 20 Questions
By Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle
When you travel through a new country, you need a guidebook.
When you travel through love, heartbreak, joy, parenting, friendship, uncertainty, aging, grief, new beginnings and life itself, you need a guidebook too. As such, We Can Do Hard Things is the guidebook for being alive.
We Can Do Hard Things helps navigate the journey of life
Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions. She asks herself: Why am I like this? How do I figure out what I want? How do I know what to do? Why can’t I be happy? Am I doing this right?
As life becomes harder, she finds it more difficult to remember the answers she has spent her life learning. She reflects: I am almost fifty years old. I have overcome a lot. So why do I wake up every day having forgotten everything I know?
Glennon’s compasses in life are her sister Amanda and her wife Abby. Recently, in a single year, Glennon was diagnosed with anorexia. Amanda was diagnosed with breast cancer. Abby’s beloved brother died.
For the first time, all three of them felt lost at the same time. They turned toward the one thing that has always helped them find direction. The authors began deep, honest conversations with other brave, kind and wise people. They asked each other, their closest friends and 118 of the world’s most insightful thinkers the same question.
Two truths discovered
As you have traveled through marriage, parenting, work, recovery, heartbreak, aging and new beginnings, have you gathered any wisdom that could help us find our way?
As Glennon, Abby and Amanda wrote down each life-saving insight, they discovered two truths:
- First, no matter which road we are walking, someone else has already traveled that same terrain.
- Second, the wisdom of these fellow travelers can light the path ahead. They collected all of that wisdom in one place.
We Can Do Hard Things is the space to turn to when you feel confused or alone. The book offers clarity in the middle of chaos and provides wise company for anyone navigating the journey of life.
We are all travelers through life. We do not have to walk alone. We Can Do Hard Things is our guidebook.
