Editorial reviews

Glennon Doyle’s celebrated best-selling self-help memoir, Untamed, offers uplifting lessons in telling the truth about yourself and daring to be brave.

From breaking free of a stifling marriage to finding the courage to set boundaries, Untamed chronicles Glennon Doyle’s personal journey of awakening and overcoming obstacles by no longer letting others determine how she lives her life. Presented in 65 short chapters with titles such as Dragons, Gardens, and Blood Baths, the author’s parable-like stories are nourishing nuggets for your ears. If her words weren’t honest enough, Doyle’s powerful reading of Untamed takes you along as she navigates her challenges and urges every woman to find her true self.

Grammy winning artist Adele declared to her millions of Instagram followers that 'this book will shake your brain and make your soul scream'—and rightly so. A New York Times best seller, Untamed was one of the most downloaded audiobooks in 2020 and named one of the best books of the year by O, The Oprah Magazine. It is currently being developed for television. 

Untamed is a lesson in allowing ourselves to simply be and not fit into a box striving to meet others’ expectations. Through Doyle’s uproarious delivery, this audiobook encourages rejection of the status quo with a jolt of honesty that must be heard.

Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.'

“The door isn’t even locked!”

It’s not that the concept of ‘women being caged by this world’ is new, but this book offers ways of becoming untamed that are. Well, new to me & wonderful.
Besides this, I love Glennon’s writing. Or maybe more precisely her thinking, & she’s great at putting her thoughts into words.
This book was revelatory in parts and yet it felt like I was hearing age-old wisdom I have always known. I was sad for it to finish but now I’m excited to see my wilderness expand♥️

The most beautiful people…

Beautiful people are those who have known defeat,known suffering, known struggle,known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen! Glennon Doyle did not just happen! And wow wow wow, doesn’t untamed show it! Thank you to your family for sharing you with us so that you can assist me in being the best version of myself.

If you’re a cheetah, I’m a cheetah Glennon
