A beautiful thing to behold

I never write reviews, in fact this is my first but this audiobook is such a treasure trove of humanness, I just had to.
Listen to this audiobook if your lost. Listen if your stuck and don’t know which way to turn. Listen if your out of touch with yourself and how you feel because you might just find yourself again.
This is a beautiful book.

What a joy!

Having Cheryl Strayed read this book was just the icing on the cake. Cheryl Strayed had once before inspired me when I had read her book, Wild. And here she is doing it again. I just loved her responses as Sugar, so much so, that now I want to own a copy of this book just to use as my personal guide and voice in times of difficulty😊

So beautiful - don't hesitate, listen right now!!

I loved Wild so I sought out any other books by Cheryl Strayed and I'm so glad I did! Her writing is extraordinarily touching and yet light. I was so moved by the stories of the people who wrote to the Dear Sugar column, and equally by Cheryl's replies. She's a spectacular writer, I couldn't stop listening, I finished the whole book in two days. So so beautiful, I urge you to listen to this right away, and then all her other books too. Strayed will be among your new favourite authors for sure.

Enlightening and compassionate

What made the experience of listening to Tiny Beautiful Things the most enjoyable?

That it was read by the author, I felt I was with her.

What did you like best about this story?

The authors direct way of delivering a take on situations with such compassion and humility

Which character – as performed by Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond (Intro) – was your favourite?

There were no characters, just situations. However I loved her explanation of when she and Mr Sugar were first together and they negotiated their sex life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it's a pick up here and there type of book.

Thank you, Dear Sugar

For anyone who wants to understand what it is to be human.

Strayed not only has an incredible ability to empathise but she cuts through the knots and weeds of people's lives, failings and struggles and takes the reader to the heart of the problem. She brings there, her own experiences and meaning, and enfuses each scene, laid bare her own shining light and insight.

My new favourite book

I have read lots of self-help books in my life time yet none have been told in quite the same way as Cheryl Strayed. I first found Strayed in the book Wild which is on of the only books I have ever read more than once. This book is packed full of advice on every part of life, the best and the worst, full of humor and tears, just a joy to listen to and I am so glad that I stumbled across this little gem.
