Packed full of energising advice on how to overcome conformity and embrace your best life, Doyle’s blend of memoir and personal development guide is a truly inspirational volume.
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.'

Untamed will liberate women - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal. - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love
What an absolute guru of a woman ... Untamed is a sort of memoir, but unlike any you've ever read before ... Reading it is like receiving an intravenous drip of fist-pumping, adrenalised RIGHTNESS. - Elizabeth Day, author of How To Fail
This memoir is so packed with incredible insight about what it means to be a woman today, what it means to be 'good' and what women will do in order to be loved. I swear I highlighted something in EVERY chapter. - Reese Witherspoon

“If you’re thinking about this book BUY IT”
I sat down to read this and have finished it 24 hrs later. It is beautiful and eye opening and all around stupendous. Glennon writes with honesty, grace and humour, and it was a joy to read.
“Just what I needed.”
I really enjoyed this and completely understand the hype.
I am not a mother, or a wife, but I am a woman who has suffered and sacrificed so that others can be happy - and it definitely isn’t something that I want...
