About this listen

#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 ClaireBloomberg 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.

What the critics say

“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

Editorial Review

How women can be themselves in a society that tells them how to think, how to behave and how to be? Untamed is a powerful memoir that will give every woman the courage to be who she truly wants to be and live her life to the fullest.

Glennon Doyle was trying to please everyone around her - but wasn’t pleasing the most important person in her life - herself. When she started listening to the voice inside her, she finally felt free to be who she really is. After living a life dictated by society’s expectations, the mother of three divorced her husband to marry the woman she fell in love with at first sight, Abby Wambach. Glennon Doyle is both the writer and narrator of this audiobook. She opens her heart to listeners in a strong, confident, and honest voice.

Glennon Doyle is a best-selling writer, an activist and a thought leader. She is the founder and president of Together Rising, a nonprofit run exclusively by women that helps women, families, and children in crisis. Besides Untamed, Glennon is the writer and narrator of Love Warrior, an Oprah's Book Club selection, and of Carry On, Warrior. These three audiobooks can be downloaded on Audible.

Untamed is a huge success, and a #1 New York Times best seller, with more than one million copies sold since its publication in 2020.

Fucking Awesome book!

This book blew my mind. Honest, so honest! Brave. Compassionate. Feminist. Wonderful insights into how we are now and how we could be if we allow ourselves to be authentic. It takes Women's Studies/ Gender Studies to the next level. She also addresses the truth about racism and sexism in North American culture and how we can change it for ourselves and our sons and daughters. I Love This Book! Hearing Glennon read her book to you makes the experience all the more inspiring, human and compassionate.

Insightful Delight

Gosh. This is such a wonderful, insightful read. I listened to the audiobook version and enjoyed it thoroughly- so much so, that now I am actually on my way to the bookstore to go buy the paperback version just so that I can re-read it and highlight the shit out of it. Glennon's stories wake you up, inspire you and warm your soul at the same time. A must-read, for sure.

Beautiful

This book is such a large concept to wrap your head around. Most have not thought about these ideas let alone grasped them. In a few words, this book is about listening to yourself. This was exactly what I needed, but not everyone would be ready for this book. I love the author’s voice!
