Story
In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110 percent and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish?

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 best-selling 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.'
Critic reviews
"Untamed will liberate women - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal." (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love)

Repetitive & Obvious
Listened to this for 3 hours but couldn't finish it. There was so much repetition of the points. The author clearly had a word count she needed to reach. Also, if you're an atheist be warned that she invokes the idea of God's help and guidance a fair bit. My main gripe is that she frames her advice as if it's a remarkable novel lesson. In fact, it's blindingly obvious and left me thinking, "wait, that's it?" eg. "don't ask Google if you should divorce your cheating husband" and "boys and girls are treated differently from an early age by society and religion"...she also describes the fireworks moment of meeting her wife to-be apparently oblivious to the well-established literature on how lust followed by bonding followed by love works. This is basically just a memoir about leaving her husband and becoming a lesbian. If you're looking for something self-helpy, inspiring and genuinely informative then this isn't it.

Inspiring & baffling in equal measure
As a white, gay man I’m probably not the target demo for this. However, so much of it resonated and felt empowering..... But then I started questing stuff. Like Glennon’s uncanny ability to say incredibly inspiring stuff on the spot. Her weirdly contradictory views and her shameless self aggrandisement. Of course that’s part and parcel of ‘novelising’ your memoir, but by the end it all felt a bit ham fisted and convenient.

Not useful, inspiring or interesting
I am 45 minutes in and this book has inspired me for the first time ever to see if I can return an audiobook and get my money back. Life is full of problems and his book gives you absolutely no pointers on how to view, let alone solve, any of them. It was a tedious and frustrating listen. I do truly wonder about the people who gave this book rave reviews. Somewhere out there are people leading very very very dull lives...
