#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD! “Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.”—Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick)In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us.“Untamed will liberate women—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray LoveA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Bloomberg, ParadeThis is how you find yourself.There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own 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 she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice—the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world’s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing 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 the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member’s ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is.Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

Rezension von NadineReading other reviews it seems like this book needs to find you in the right time. I also found that some chapter didn’t resonate with me as much as others but the ones that did went deep. Glad it found me at the right time - really needed that empowerment!
Rezension von KrenareThe best book I have read in a while. So raw and honest and important.
Rezension von JuliaI am not exactly sure what I have to say about this book: as a fierce feminist I cherish the message and the idea of becoming untamed will stay with me for a while. But as a feminist I also acknowledge that most of the ideas in this book aren’t very original or groundbreaking. On the other hand the form of a personal memoir (of a writer with a wide audience) is a great way to deliver the messages to even more women. Let’s wrap it up: there were ideas which I found inspiring (imagination vs. indoctrination e.g.), I found myself moved by personal stories about Doyle’s family life. But I also found myself repelled by the ideas of god, faith and believe (religion a system installed to oppress women), which are deeply imbedded in this book. Sometimes I found her ideas to exclamation pointy - I wanted to say yeah, but what if this is not as true as you proclaim?? Overall: an inspiring book for women who are not quite yet feminists but feel something missing in their lifes.
