Untamed

Stop Pleasing, Start Living

Summary

Discover the inspirational Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick.

'This book will shake your brain and make your soul scream. I am so ready for myself after reading this book!' Adele

'Untamed will liberate women - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love

Part inspiration, part memoir, Untamed explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and instead dare to listen to and trust in the voice deep inside us, from the beloved New York Times bestselling author, speaker and activist Glennon Doyle.

Who were you before the world told you who to be?

For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her discontent.

Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room 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 but soon she realised they had come to her from within. This was the voice she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions and social conditioning.

Glennon decided to let go of the world's expectations of her and reclaim her true untamed self.

Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanising wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live.

It is also the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts.

Untamed shows us how to be brave. And, as Glennon insists, 'The braver we are, the luckier we get.'


'Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today...I swear I highlighted something in EVERY chapter'
Reese Witherspoon, Reese's Book Club
