#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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. Untamed will liberate
women-emotionally spiritually and physically. It is phenomenal.-Elizabeth Gilbert author of
City of Girls and Eat Pray Love This 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.
