Biography & Autobiography. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:#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.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine ? The Washington Post ? Cosmopolitan ? Marie Claire ? Bloomberg ? Parade ? ??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 brav

JUP. Read it, weep, take stock of your life, act accordingly. It’s been awhile since a book delivered a sentence, an idea, a moment that has made me weep in recognition. ( )

Content-wise, it is often smug and self-congratulatory. She seems to think she’s discovered that feminism is about men too, and that sports can be good for girls. I want to yell at her to go read some books and learn about what you’re writing about before thinking you’re breaking new ground. And also she is not the first or last woman to divorce a husband so she can marry a woman. The only reason it's noteworthy is that she marketed herself the way she did in her fist two books. If you keep putting yourself forth as an expert, then you’re more likely to be questioned when you don’t follow your own expertise. I know she says in this book that all he beliefs are written in sand and she is always changing and that’s the point, but if so, why are we reading it? And also, that’s a lot of sand writing. ( )

Personal essay. Powerful style, full of potential to engage readers as the writer "thinks aloud".

Doyle plumbs the depths of the genre she already knows so well (as evidenced in her two previous memoirs). This time around she examines her own evolution and becoming with unrelenting honesty, kindness, and humor (I snort-laughed often!). The sudden turns of a thought-line brought me up short more than once, in the best possible way. Listen to her read her own words if you can.

Chapters I re-read immediately after hearing and then again once I'd listened to the entire book: Keys, Island, Racist, Boys.

Once upon a time I'd have scoffed at a woman who, at the tender age of 40, discovers that, Oh, I really prefer women. Now that I've hurdled a few of my own surprise preferences and the unknowing of rules and labels that family, religion, and society pressed into my heart and soul from time before clear personal memory, I listened and nodded. Not because I've come to realize that I'm drawn to women, but because I've slowly learned what is not true and what is for me.

I listened and nodded, because, Oh, me too.

Four and a half stars for craft, originality and vulnerability. Five stars because timing matters. It was my time to hear all of this. ( )

I feel mislead. I thought this was a memoir, and in part it is but it’s also a self-help book, I guess? The memoir portions were really insightful and interesting. The self-help part though was trite and preachy…there were lots of eye rolls for me tbh.

Edited: after only a few hours sitting with the book in its entirety I have to downgrade my initial review. I keep returning to the problematic parts of this book rather than the inspiring parts. And the problematic parts are pretty major at that. I cannot recommend this one. ( )

Untamed highlights
Know:
....When a woman finally learns that pleasing the world is impossible, she is finally free to please herself....
....ideas of right and wrong.....they are the bars that make up the cage...
No one has ever lived, or will ever live this life I'm attempting to live with my gifts and challenges and past and people....This life is mine alone.
Be Still

Imagine
The truest most beautiful life never promises to be an easy one.

Let it burn
....maybe its safer to just stay here. Even if it's not true enough maybe it's good enough.
the building of the true and beautiful means the destruction of the good enough

Bases
Privilege is being born on third base.
Ignorant privilege is thinking you're there because you hit a triple
Malicious privilege is complaining that those starving outside the ballpark are not being patient enough.
....she has her imagination to keep her soft and open. She knows how to imagine her way into his shoes. I'm not sure it matters if what she imagines is true, I just know that the softening matters....she is learning how to use her imagination to bridge the gap between her experience and the experience of others.

Islands
....they haven't learned the fear you carry, and I won't have it taught to them in your voice and in your eyes. Your fear that the world will reject our family is causing you to create the very rejection you fear exists. But if you bring it here they will help you carry it because they trust you.

Questions
...I do know why everyone is so gay all of a sudden. It's those damn GMOs....

Comfort Zones
I'm going to quite requiring modesty from other women. I don't want to find comfort in the weakness and pain of other women. I want to find inspiration in the joy and success of other women, because that makes me happier.
Because if we keep disliking and tearing down strong women instead of voting for them, we won't have any strong women ( )
