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 best-selling 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.'

Prosaic !

Reviewed in Australia on 16 October 2020

I only read the book for bookclub and I found it's hard to believe that it has such good online reviews. I appreciate the honesty of the author sharing her lifestories and the interesting angle for the beginning of the book, but the book itself seems lack of content. The structure of the book reminds me of reading these inspirational book. It keeps repeating the same thing in different formats throughout chapters. The language was dull and prosaic.

Unmissable. Heartbreaking. Insightful. BUY THIS BOOK!

Reviewed in Australia on 4 April 2020

I’m just over half way through this book but I couldn’t wait a moment longer to leave a 5 star review.

This is a book for the ages. A masterpiece of contextual thinking. One that makes you feel everything, think differently about everything and bask in the genius and sensitivity of the literary delivery.

I learned about Glennon on Brené Browns podcast, which was beyond interesting, but contained only really a glimpse of her deep insight and inspiring humility.

This book is a collection of stories, metaphors and musings that could not be more relevant to the current socio-cultural climate.

I am learning, growing and feeling deep grace with every page I read.

If you are sitting there trying to decide whether to purchase this book - you must! It is an investment in yourself, your family and your role in the future of humanity.

Thank you Glennon for such a groundbreaking piece of work. 🙏🏻

A must-read

Reviewed in Australia on 23 January 2022

An eye-opening, semi-autobiographical examination of social norms and how they dictate our thinking and behaviour. Doyle beautifully describes how our socially structured and imposed systems of belief cloud our innate personal judgement, preventing us from being our genuine selves and living our true lives. This is a relevant, inclusive, non-threatening and inspiring book. This is a great starting point for all (especially Gen X and Boomers who may find some feminist style writing a little alarming and smash-the-state). A must-read.

I had a hard time with this book. Not because it’s not good. It’s very good. It’s open and honest, but whenever I put it down to do something else, I had a hard time picking it back up again. I’m not completely sure why that is. Maybe it’s because a lot of what the author said resonated within me. It’s hard to see bits of yourself that could be better when you didn’t think there was a problem. This book will stay with me for a long time I think.

This book is for smart women who are a little nuts. It’s actually for any woman with heart who has found the constructs of this society limiting and constraining, whether it be family, school, religion, relationship. Glennon finally gives relief because she is dismantling all these systems with her questioning and I’m finally reading a voice that feels like me that I’ve never heard before quite like this.

This. This book. This book will work it's way into your being, and in doing so it will challenge, change and affirm you. It shines a spotlight on what it means to be a woman in this world, what it means to be a human in this world. Thankyou G for your carefully crafted words, wit, wisdom and vulnerable truth telling.

This book literally changed my life. I underlined so many fantastic quotes that deserve recognition. Glennon has an incredible way of writing that just slaps you in the face and enables you to wake up to the society we have just taken at face value for far too long. She touches on so many important topics such as women’s roles in society, black lives matter, taking risks, following your inner voice and knowing, meditation, same sex marriage, religion and the church and everything in between. I’ve already got three of my friends reading it and I’m dying to read it again just to reprocess it all. Thank you Glennon for putting into words everything I have been feeling for a long time. Xx

Fascinating

Doyle is a masterful writer. She's definitely a talker. From her Instagram profile you do wonder if she'll stay in the relationship because with all her so-called intuition, she is definitely difficult to live with. I dislike the bits in the book where she says eg "this is what I said to my son" and then she goes on to fill 2 or more pages with what she said, and I think if she'd said all that to me I would've given up listening - she's pretty full on about herself. This happens a lot throughout the book. A good read though and for the price of an ebook, well worth it. It is a love story too.

A book written to be turned into Instagram quotes

Did not enjoy. Do not recommend. Lots of it makes no sense but sounds “inspirational”. Complete drudgery. I’d love to hear you argue this with me because I genuinely do not understand the hype at all.

Fairly focused on motherhood

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2020

Verified Purchase

I really wanted to love this book after friends raved about it. It just didn’t grab me in the same way, I didn’t even finish it. In particular I felt it very geared towards mothers, and motherhood being the thing that saved her, and motherhood being pretty much the be all and end all. It may have got better, but I was so irritated I stopped reading half way through. Great if you are a mother, very exclusive if, for any reason, you are not and might feel sensitive about that. Just not for me.

A book length, Mom's version of an Instagram 'inspirational' meme feed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I have been shivering with anticpation waiting for this book: that angry, authentic, deeply female voice from Love Warrior turned up a notch and set free to roar because she's writing about finding true love. And more of Glennon's gorgeous voice and writing. But, for me, this book does not deliver. The 'keys' format totally dilutes her voice, it's stilted, it ironically does not allow her to really let loose, and there's only a few places where I felt I could hear her true unvarnished and unmanipulated words - and these places are so obvious I'm sure they ring like a bell for other readers too. I can feel them like a vibration in my bones. But, sadly, I think a too-clever editor ruined this incredibly important moment and convinced Glennon she needed the self-help gimmick to give the book structure - for me, all it does it turn the whole thing into a book length, Mom's version of an Instagram 'inspirational' meme feed. I adore Glennon, and Abby, and everything they do on a daily basis to help others by living their totally authentic and brave lives, but this book, for me, didn't capture any of that. I'm sad.

Sorry to say I found this book uninspiring, quite dull, and I simply couldn’t make it to the end. I’m honestly not sure what the fuss is about. I read the hype and was really excited, but it’s not for me at all.

I am officially untamed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2020

So I have followed Glennon’s journey having first seen her on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. I enjoyed Love Warrior and in the face of all the life changes she has gone through since then - which I’ve read about online - I was initially unsure whether the book would tell me anything I hadn’t already heard about her story.

I was so wrong.

Quarter of the way through I was texting my best friend saying “you have to read this”. Several pages later I was like “I’ve not even finished it and I’ve already ordered you your own copy”. I read it cover to cover TWICE in one weekend. The second time with a highlighter

What is so great about it?
- her message for women and how easy it is to get trapped in lives that aren’t REALLY who we are
- her message for young girls - and the great story of how Abby coached their daughter through sport that sometimes you have to do hard things that you don’t want to do in order to get to what you DO want
- her message for boys that they owe responsibility to their families and to muck in with all the chores at home
- her message about online porn and what it does to young people’s brains if they’re not taught healthy messages about sex

I could go on. But I won’t. Cos you should hear it from Glennon not me.

It made an immediate difference to me. I got up and out and asked for what I wanted in an area of my life. And lo and behold it looks like I’m gonna get it

Be untamed.
