#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.--Reese Witherspoon (Reese\'s Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book 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.
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.
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.
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.
Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call.
She quit pleasing and started living.
She quit being good so she could be free.
Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world\'s expectations of her.
This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be.
This was her own voice--the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances.
But she soon realized they had come to her from within.
At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high.
Three words flooded her mind: There She Is.
Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love.
For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent.
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.
Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed.
We hope all this striving will make us feel alive.
We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends.
There is a voice of longing inside each woman.
It is phenomenal.--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love This is how you find yourself.
Untamed will liberate women--emotionally, spiritually, and physically. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today.--Reese Witherspoon (Reese\'s Book Club x Hello Sunshine Book 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
