Untamed

De: Glennon Doyle

Narrado por: Glennon Doyle

#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 brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Some books shake you by the shoulder while others steal your heart. In Untamed, Glennon does both at the exact same time.”—Brené Brown

“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

“Doyle might just be the patron saint of female empowerment. . . . Here she inspires other women to listen to their intuition and break free of what cages them. . . . Her memoir has a message as clear as a ‘go’ signal: Find and honor your truest self.”—People

Thank you isn’t enough...

Untamed is essentially the book that teaches exactly how to undo and replace the misogynistic and racist and multifaceted discriminations we’ve all had crammed down our throats that keeps us from love and keeps us miserable in expectations-bondage. It educates you about burning them and replacing them with what is true, whole, and healthy. How we can learn and teach compassion by taking time to imagine. This book is a myth buster of epic proportions. It’s the manual on what love really looks like free of shame, stereotypes, etc etc. Thank you for Glennon Doyle — Your books free me, free others, and shows us how to set about doing the next right thing for each of us. Choose you. My next task is to set the rules for those that have permission to be on my island. (Audible review)

There were so many passages in Untamed I was jotting down notes left and right. I have recommended this book to all of my friends

Amazing

I loved it all. ❤️ so much deeper and fuller than love warrior....which I also liked but found the religious undertones a little off putting. This is honest and real and gives me hope that TRUE LOVE exists. Thank you for sharing your art.

Courageous, beautiful, vulnerable, strong

I Loved this book! Listening to it read in the authors voice was especially moving.
There are so many treasures in here – personal, family related, parenting related, and humanitarian. Thank you Glennon. Your work has changed me and is changing the world.

Amazing.

Glennon, since I know you’ll be reading this, I am writing just to you. I didn’t know I needed this book. I didn’t know I needed these words. You said things I haven’t been able to put words to. You taught me how to sink, how to listen to my knowing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. From one cheetah to another. 🧡

This book is a gift.

I absolutely loved this book and immediately told my people they had to listen to it. This book left me with so much to think about and I am so grateful. I am a goddam cheetah.
