Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life

Glennon Doyle

Simon and Schuster, Apr 2, 2013 - Biography & Autobiography - 288 pages

The inspiring and hilarious instant New York Times bestseller from the beloved speaker, activist, founder of Momastery, and writer of Untamed and Oprah’s Book Club selection Love Warrior.

Glennon Doyle’s hilarious and poignant reflections on our universal (yet often secret) experiences have inspired a social movement by reminding women that they’re not alone. In Carry On, Warrior, she shares her personal story in moving, refreshing, and laugh-out-loud new essays and some of the best-loved material from Momastery.

Her writing invites us to believe in ourselves, to be brave and kind, to let go of the idea of perfection, and to stop making motherhood, marriage, and friendship harder by pretending they’re not hard. In this one woman’s attempt to love herself and others, readers will find a wise and witty friend who shows that we can build better lives in our hearts, homes, and communities.
