Publisher Comments

In her most revealing and powerful book yet, the beloved activist, speaker, and author of the bestselling sensations Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and start trusting the voice deep within us.

"Untamed will liberate women--emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I believe Glennon was born to write this book, just this way, at just this moment in history. It is phenomenal."--Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love

This is how you find yourself.

There is a voice of longing inside every woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good mothers, daughters, partners, employees, citizens, and friends. We believe all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives, relationships, and world, and wonder: Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful. We hide our simmering discontent--even from ourselves. Until we reach our boiling point.

Four years ago, Glennon Doyle--bestselling Oprah-endorsed author, renowned activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of three--was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. Soon she realized that they came to her from within.

Glennon was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl Glennon had been before the world told her who to be. She vowed to never again abandon herself. She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. She would reclaim her true, untamed self.

Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both a memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It offers a piercing, electrifying examination of the restrictive expectations women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world's expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at ourselves and recognize: There She Is.

Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

Review

"Some books shake you by the shoulder while others steal your heart. In Untamed, Glennon does both at the exact same time." Brené Brown

Review

"This memoir is so packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today, what it means to be 'good,' and what women will do in order to be loved. I swear I highlighted something in EVERY chapter." Reese Witherspoon

Review

"Doyle might just be the patron saint of female empowerment....Here she inspires other women to listen to their intuition and break free of what cages them....Her memoir has a message as clear as a 'go' signal: Find and honor your truest self." People (Book of the Week)

I was impressed enough by the prologue to want to read this book. But, I was judging the lifestyle that Glennon Doyle seems to portray so I was determined not to like the book. I was wrong. I really liked the book. Doyle has written a courageous book that will inspire any woman to be true to herself. Doyle talks about divorcing her husband, the father of her three children, and marrying Abby Wambach a famous soccer star. This is not the main part of the story. Doyle talks about life in general and uses metaphors and analogies which elucidate the points in a beautiful way. She has expounded on spiritual truths that it will take a lifetime to learn. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly.
