Cheryl Strayed on How To Become a Writer, The Power of Art & More

When Cheryl Strayed became an international success, she was broke and terrified about her future as a writer. In this clip, she explains what we get wrong about fame, money, and the writing life — and what success really looks like. She says, “We have really bad ideas about money as a culture. We flaunt wealth, but we don’t speak realistically about what money is … It’s like this big secret that we keep from each other.” Cheryl Strayed is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller “Wild,” “Tiny Beautiful Things,” “Brave Enough,” and “Torch.” Her books have been translated into 40 languages. “Wild” was the first selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 and made into an Oscar nominated film. Cheryl’s essays have been published in “The Best American Essays,” the New York Times, The Washington Post Magazine, Vogue, Salon, The Sun, Tin House, and elsewhere. She’s the co-host of the Dear Sugar radio podcast and lives in Portland, Oregon. #MarieTVClips​ #CherylStrayed #success Subscribe to MarieTV: Become an MF Insider: 3 Truths About Overnight Success: Playlist: Inspiring Interviews: MARIE ON SOCIAL Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: My YouTube channel:
