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. Glennon Doyle's memoir, Untamed, is packed with powerful quotes that will inspire you to live your best, bravest life.
IT’S UNANIMOUS
Glennon Doyle has taken the world by storm many a time. She toured with Oprah; she’s BFFs with Elizabeth Gilbert. She (in)famously married soccer star Abby Wambach after becoming a worldwide phenomenon because of the memoir she wrote about staying with her husband, who’d repeatedly been unfaithful. Her newest book, Untamed, speaks to an entirely different and more nuanced side of Glennon (which you’ve likely seen if you’re one of her 1.1 million Instagram followers).
Untamed touched so many people on our team, we’re making a collective case for why you should pick it up for yourself and your best girlfriends ASAP, if you haven’t already.
Annie Nogg, Career & Life Coach
Favorite quote or passage: “When I see a joyful confident woman moving through the world with swagger, I’m going to forgive myself for my first reaction because it’s not my fault—it’s just my conditioning. First reaction: Who the hell does she think she is? Second reaction: She knows she’s a goddamn cheetah. Halle-fucking-lujah.” I love this quote so much a) because it speaks to our natural conditioning including how to notice it/break free of it, and b) because it celebrates women stepping into their power.
Why You Should Read It: I recommend Untamed to my clients—especially women—to send this beautiful gift of a book forward. It’s as if Glennon’s heart got a mouth and dictated this book to her. It’s a beautiful account of how one woman shed all of the shoulds and moved into an unapologetically gorgeous life of trusting and honoring her intuition. I love to help clients view themselves from the inside out (as opposed to the outside in) and this book is a fantastic example of how to do that.

Favorite quote or passage: Choosing a favorite passage or quote from this book was one of the trickiest intellectual challenges I’ve had this month! While reading it, I took photos and highlighted at least 30 paragraphs or pages—it just kept speaking to me on a soul level. But this one, which encompasses an important, book-long theme, stands out:
Glennon Doyle's Untamed
“I love myself now. Self-love means that I have a relationship with myself built on trust and loyalty. I trust myself to have my own back, so my allegiance is to the voice within. I’ll abandon everyone else’s expectations of me before I’ll abandon myself. I’ll disappoint everyone else before I’ll disappoint myself. I’ll forsake all others before I’ll forsake myself. Me and myself: We are til death do us part.
What the world needs is more women who have quit fearing themselves and started trusting themselves.
What the world needs is masses of women who are entirely out of control.”
We need more women who are entirely out of control, who trust themselves first and who aren’t willing to ‘set themselves on fire to keep other people warm’.
Why You Should Read It: That theme is why you should read it—because we need more women who are entirely out of control, who trust themselves first and who aren’t willing to “set themselves on fire to keep other people warm” (another Untamed gem). That’s not to say we shouldn’t take care of others. But our priorities need to be to ourselves, unlike they have been for so long, for so many women who were told that their wants should always come second (or third or fourth or fifth or last).
Also: Read this if you grew up in a religious system that doesn’t fit you anymore or if you’ve experienced any kind of chronic or long-standing (or mystery) illness. Glennon has been there, and she knows what you need to hear, because she needed to hear it herself.
Elizabeth Kendig, Healers Founder
Favorite quote or passage: “We can do hard things” stopped me in my tracks—literally–on a long walk. The words arrived like a messenger exactly when I needed to hear them most: in the middle of building a new business which required learning and doing a bunch of hard things I had no idea how to do. Now it’s become a mantra. Like a new-and-improved version of “I think I can, I think I can” but more affirming and effective because it acknowledges that the thing IS hard. Let’s not pretend it’s not. It’s hard AND ALSO I can do it.
Glennon’s voice in my ear was a rally cry, a reminder that you’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you.
Why You Should Read It: Truth be told, I almost didn’t read this book. I’ve celebrated Glennon’s entire literary catalog but Untamed didn’t seem . . . necessary. I already feel pretty untamed. But my book club selected it and I proceeded to devour while on long walks during a challenging time. Glennon’s voice in my ear was a rally cry, a reminder that you’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you. Don’t stop because you’re different, keep going because you are. We can do hard things because if we don’t who else will?
Description
#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 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.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 LoveThis 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.

'She is a terrific storyteller. . . . Whether discussing her children or the world outside, challenging conformity, confronting misogyny, or standing up to religious bigotry, her goal as a memoirist (and as a person) is to defy expectations and to help others break out of their cultural cages so that everyone can find their own version of humanity. A bracing jolt of honesty from someone who knows what she wants to say and isn't afraid to say it.'--Booklist (starred review)
'An emotional gut punch . . . an in-depth look at a courageous woman eager to share the wealth of her experiences by embracing vulnerability and reclaiming her inner strength and resiliency. Doyle offers another lucid, inspiring chronicle of female empowerment and the rewards of self-awareness and renewal.'--Kirkus Reviews
