Cheryl Strayed

For the past several years, heartfelt, sometimes tormented emails have been pouring into the inbox of Dear Sugar, the advice columnist for the online literary magazine "The Rumpus." Sugar -- recently revealed as bestselling memoirist and novelist Cheryl Strayed -- answers the calls for help with deep empathy, honesty and often with toughness. Strayed joins us to talk about giving advice and her golden rule: trust yourself.

Host: Scott Shafer

Guests:

  • Cheryl Strayed, author of "Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from 'Dear Sugar'" and the memoir "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail"
