About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The #1 SUNDAY TIMES bestselling authors and award-winning podcasters Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle created We Can Do Hard Things the guidebook for being alive — to help fellow travelers find their way through life.


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 – life – you need a guidebook, too.

We Can Do Hard Things is the guidebook for being alive.

Every day, Glennon Doyle spirals around the same questions: 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?

The harder life gets, the less likely she is to remember the answers she’s spent her life learning. She wonders: I’m almost fifty years old. 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 —marriage, parenting, work, recovery, heartbreak, aging, new beginnings—have you collected any wisdom that might help us find our way?

As Glennon, Abby, and Amanda wrote down every life-saving answer, they discovered two things:

  1. No matter what road we are walking down, someone else has traveled the same terrain.
  2. 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.

We are all life travelers. We don’t have to travel alone. We Can Do Hard Things is our guidebook.

I'm an avid follower of We Can Do Hard Things podcast and love their work. Untamed was such a fantastic book. This audio book's delivery is very different and offers a wide range of perspective and insight from many different people, however, i found the AI generated voices turned my heart, body and soul off. Worth the purchase.

I loved this book! The format was a little confusing at first, due to the voices and names, but once I got the hang of it, it was a real pleasure to listen to this during walks. Like having some really smart, wise and empathetic friends around. Ordered it in hardback, which I think will be a good compliment to the listening experience. If you listen to their podcast, as I do, and you’re considering buying this edition - go for it! I don’t think you’ll be dissappointed :)

Authentic, honest and very life affirming

I listened to the book in one wkend . I didn't think I needed to buy the book as well but knew when I went to the book shop and I couldn't find a book I was drawn to because I needed to buy a copy of the book as well. it's the kinda book I can imagine reading every 6 months and getting something different from it each time . I never hold onto books I always donate or pass them on. I know this book I won't want to pass it because I will need it for different times

Sound advice delivered through twenty thoughtful questions, answered with honesty and encouragement. Once I got used to the format I really enjoyed listening to Glennon, Abby, Amanda, and the other participants. I also appreciated knowing who was speaking, and often found myself looking up the names to learn more about them.
This is the kind of book that deserves a spot on the shelf, ready to dip into again and again over the years. A reminder that we can do hard things… even when they stay hard. 💪🏻

Loved it overall

This is life wisdom! Tell everyone! Wish that I myself had known all this before reaching midlife. The content of this book is all ancient knowledge- but modern society and culture has sadly forgotten all about what makes people thrive.
