Strayed tells us her story with a profound honesty, allowing the audience to feel her struggles. I almost felt like I was there and experiencing it with her. This is not just a tale of her hike; it’s a diary of her self discovery.
I found as I read the book that the very essence of this transformative adventure unfurls, exposing how stepping into nature can lead to powerful and meaningful insights about oneself. I love to hike and primitive camp. So, this book really resonated with me. Never have I completed a hike that long, However, I do camp alone and there is something so freeing and compelling about being in nature with oneself.
The Journey Begins
A positive review for the non-fiction bio book Wild by Cheryl Strayed takes off on her trek at the base of the Pacific Crest Trail with only a heavy backpack and a heavy heart from losing someone so close. Her mother’s sudden death and her own personal turbulence with life, this daunting adventure becomes a symbol of her pursuit for inner peace and happiness.
On this extensive hike, Strayed battles an assortment of trials: steep and rocky paths, unpredictable weather, and her overwhelming doubts about being able to complete the trek. Each time a challenge she faces turns into a lesson that deepens the path to healing. She recalls what I would call a horrific moment when she crossed a 10,000-foot mountain pass in a storm. Feeling both exposed but liberated as she fought against the elements. I found myself cheering for her as she defies fear head-on and pushes beyond her limits. As a female I found this so empowering.
Lessons in Heartbreak
Wild serves as more than just a story of a hike on a trail; it represents the perseverance that awakens from deep anguish and sorrow. Strayed combines vivid memories of her past—times of recklessness especially after her mother's loss.
These somber moments resonate with readers, encouraging us to consider our own trials that we have encountered. The writing is so relatable for anyone that has lost someone they love. Cheryl's truth is compelling: she shares her vulnerabilities, revealing how they can transform into strength. A strength that sometimes we did not know we had. She openly tells about how her judgments during her twenties led her to a very dark place. This shows us a progression of regret that she learns to break throughout her journey.
Nature as a Healer
Nature acts as a transformative character in this book. Strayed gives us descriptions of her beautiful surroundings, allowing readers to feel the cool morning air and hear the trees rustling in the wind. I could almost visualize the terrain.
Nature is not merely a setting for her adventure but the main source of vital healing property. The forest and mountains are way more than just places to hike. They become her sanctuary to find peace within herself. She learns many things in these settings of mother nature.
A significant theme in Wild is the empowerment that can come from solitude. What better way to find solitude than in nature? As Strayed navigates the land and lush forest, she takes off to a journey into her own reflections and spirit documenting how moments alone can foster essential self-discovery. Learning to love yourself is so important. This story reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves.
