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

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.

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.'

Critic reviews

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

“If you’re ready - this book will shake your brain and make your soul scream...." (Adele)

Remarkable!

Today I listened to the entire audiobook. This book should be gifted to every woman who has struggled at any point in their life. I fell in love with a woman who could not free herself from the role of daughter and mother. We are apart though I still love her and always will. I hope that she listens to this audiobook and finally sees the light.
Thank you for writing this! I will gift it to as many people as possible.

Glennon's pen is unlike any other

I am a religious follower of Glennon's We Can Do Hard Things podcast and have been waiting for a long time to listen to her audiobook of Untamed. So many of these stories I have heard on the podcast, but now, listening to her 'becoming untamed' story in totality, has been just what I needed at this specific page turning point in my own life. Glennon is unabashadly unique, and the world needs more brave thinkers and doers. Thank you for sharing your perspective....I have been unwrapping each chapter with gratitude.
