There is a wilderness in everyone's life, and you need to find a way out by yourself.
It has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 126 consecutive weeks, and has rarely won 17 annual book awards.
The film adaptation of "Into the Wild" was nominated for 12 awards!
Cheryl Strayed, an ordinary American woman. When she was 6 years old, her alcoholic and violent father disappeared from her life. At the age of 22, her close mother suddenly passed away due to illness. Since then, her family has been broken, her siblings have become increasingly estranged, and her marriage is on the verge of collapse. For 4 years, 7 months and 3 days, she was immersed in great grief and lost herself.
Once, she accidentally saw a picture of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and her heart suddenly opened, and she immediately decided to hit the trail. With no experience, she only had one thought in her mind: she hoped to at least do something to change everything. This longing was like the wilderness in the distance, directionless, she told herself: the worst had already happened. I have to find a way out on my own!
94 Days, over 1100 miles. This is Cheryl's walking journey alone, and it is also her inner journey from pain and confusion to gradual determination. Along the way, she trekked through deserts and mountains, saw the sunset over long rivers, and met people with stories to tell. At the same time, she also peeled off her own pain points without reservation. At the end of the journey, she found that along with the hardships and dangers along the way, those painful memories were all in the past. It seemed that she had finally found her place among all things.
Reader comments
The content is equivalent to "A Man's Pilgrimage". The content is too detailed, so it seems a bit redundant, but the overall content does give people a lot of strength after reading it, especially women. When people are stuck in a quagmire, if used incorrectly, they may accelerate their fall into the abyss. The author uses negative methods such as cheating in marriage to try to find an exit, but ends up falling into the deep end. Choosing the hiking challenge, from fear, fear, pain to adaptation, feelings... The hiking process was indeed physically and mentally painful, but it saved her. During hiking, every day is a physical and mental challenge, and you must concentrate all your energy to fight it. There is no extra energy to chew on the pain of the past. After the hike, I looked back and found that the things I couldn't understand before had been left far away. What I got was a sudden enlightenment and relief.
We don't need to understand the meaning and purpose of doing it. In fact, sometimes we just need to understand that doing it itself is the meaning. Just like the author said - I just need to know how to swim back and forth in the water.
People are always afraid of the unknown. In fact, knowing it by being there is just conjecture. Is there any risk? Yes, but you shouldn't think of the worst in everything. Just do what you want to do immediately. When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. If you encounter problems, just solve them.
(In a strange environment, a little warmth from strangers will slowly heal the injured you, because they are people who resonate with you and will give you what you want. When you are stuck in thorns, you might as well get out. After this period, the road will be smooth, but if you are stuck in it, the rest of your life will be painful)
Compared with movies, the psychological portrayal in the text is more delicate, the consciousness activities are more straightforward, the background is clearer, and the experience is different. It can be called a trinity, a memoir, a mother's autobiography, and a revelation of growth.
People who are better than you quit halfway can even make you feel more accomplished. Newly acquainted people release more warmth than acquaintances... By experiencing different people on foot, you can correct your interpersonal relationships and your views on yourself. How a person is treated determines how we treat ourselves and others. Express your emotions and feelings authentically in a safe environment. Reflection after an experience can accept the unchangeable.
The best way to break the deadlock is to break and rebuild. In a new environment, rely entirely on yourself and bring experience to correct the past, build relationships, build confidence, and find a new self. There is no need to grasp anything in life. All experiences are your own footprints and keep moving forward.
The father's task is to teach his children how to grow into warriors, giving them the confidence to ride horses and charge when needed. If you didn't learn this from your father, you have to learn and grow on your own. When you jump on horseback and charge into battle, you will hesitate and stumble. To heal the wounds your father inflicted on you, you must mount your horse and fight like a warrior.
The universe never plays tricks on you. It will take whatever it wants and never give it back to you. The world is too complex and people can never understand its secrets. The conditions, cause and effect, birth and death, prosperity and decline, and change of things are all incomprehensible.
I like it very much, almost in one go.
First of all, I admire the courage and courage of the heroine. Being alone, so calm and calm in front of the unknown nature and people, although sometimes it is inevitable to be afraid. We are lucky to have saved ourselves from danger several times.
Secondly, the heroine's kindness and filial piety are touching. The death of her mother almost destroyed her spiritual world, which also affected her marriage. She loved everything related to her mother, their horses, cats, dogs, dinner tables, their forest and home, her father and stepfather, her sister and brother.
Again, excellent unique language arts. The narrative is smooth and fresh, and the description of memories and reality is seamless.
I didn't read this book in one sitting, but intermittently. It has a kind of magic. Leading me to read. Read, read again, as if not reading this book in a day would be a life-threatening crime
She lacked her father's love since childhood, and her beloved mother passed away prematurely... She was unable to accept the reality, which caused the heroine to fall into a dilemma in life. However, the one who can save oneself is ultimately oneself. Along the trail, there are difficulties and obstacles, picturesque scenery, heart-warming companions, and warmth and romance... Interspersed with the heroine's longing for her mother, her complaints about her fate, her guilt towards her husband, and her reflection on herself... In the end, everything is released and she is reborn in Nirvana.
After reading it, I felt a sense of relief. There will always be some misfortunes in our lives, but as long as we find the right way to deal with it, we can discover a new world. Life is about constantly searching, exploring, and getting out of our wilderness.
Wow, this book is great! It feels like following Cheryl on an adventure in the wilderness! Her experience reminded me of the book Wild, which is also about one person's journey of self-discovery in nature. I especially loved the people she met along the way who had stories to tell, and I was deeply inspired by their experiences and wisdom. This book not only made me feel the beauty and power of nature, but also taught me to move forward bravely and find my own path when facing difficulties. Highly recommended to friends who love outdoor adventure and inner exploration!
It's hard to imagine a woman carrying a heavy Big Mac travel bag and wearing clip-on shoes, walking alone on a desolate, scary trail with an uncertain future. Her strong, tenacious and stubborn personality charm deeply attracted me to read page after page.
Wish I could get out of my own wilderness too.
I came across this book by chance, and the simple words came to my face, guiding me to face the confusion in life, overcome various challenges from nature, walk the entire journey with fearless courage, make a pilgrimage all the way, and find the best version of myself with my mother's love. I calmed down and used various time slots to listen and read to complete this novel. I applauded the heroine for not being delicate and pretentious but for being frank. She lived a calm and calm life, not afraid of life and death attacks, not afraid of clouds covering her eyes, and lived a wonderful life!
Cheryl completed the transformation of the Queen of the Pacific Crest Trail, reaching her heart step by step and stepping out of her own wilderness. At this moment, my heart is very throbbing. On the Internet, I often see various netizens visiting the mountains and rivers of the motherland, 219, 317, 318, etc. They may not have the determination to hike, but they definitely have the courage to travel on motorcycles. Just wait for me. When I graduate, it's time to set off!
I followed "Cheryl" on the Pacific Crest Trail in my heart, and the delicate descriptions came to me like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if I was actually there. Never give up, live towards the sun, open your mind to embrace the world, love will be everywhere!
I found this book by chance. Fortunately, I didn't miss it. I have read it completely... Maybe I will read it again in the future. It is a good book worth reading. It can help you get out of confusion, troughs, and difficulties, heal, heal, and grow...
First of all, courage is the biggest highlight of this book. I feel that there is no resurrection in the core, Falling Soul Heaven, and Living. These books are intense, but they are very dull. I think I mostly read them because of the author's bravery. As for the author, has he found himself? I don't think so
Life is like this, keep making mistakes and keep redeeming yourself. Finally calmed down.
It's so classic and it makes me angry.
I haven't finished reading it yet, but I like the author's writing style!
I like the author's writing style [Like]
Well written, the narrative is clear, fluent and beautiful
The plot is touching and inspirational, the pace is lively, and the scenery and psychological descriptions are delicate, making people relaxed and happy, very comfortable. Prepare to watch it two or three times! [Praise]
Very well written
Very nice! Worth reading.
A book worth reading!
A rare good book! Super five stars!
It is not easy for a woman to have such courage. Anyway, I don't dare to go this far alone
It's true, but there are some things that are hard to accept
As someone who loves hiking, the descriptions in the book always resonate with me.
An independent, strong, sincere and kind woman
After enduring the boring experience in the front, the content behind will be extremely exciting.
You will be inexplicably moved when you see the end
The writing is true, and the description of the mood makes people feel the reality.
It's very good and very inspiring. It's a process of self-salvation in which you sink to the bottom and come back to life again!
