Summary
Four years ago, Glennon Doyle--bestselling Oprah-endorsed author, renowned activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of three--was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. Glennon was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. Untamed offers an examination of the restrictive expectations women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world's expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at our lives and recognize: There She Is.

Summary
There is a voice of longing inside each woman. They strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. They hope all this striving will make them feel alive. Instead, it leaves them feeling wary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed, looking at their lives and wondering, wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? Part intimate memoir and part galvanizing wake-up call, Glennon Doyle shows women how they can begin to trust themselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with their bodies, honor their anger and heartbreak, and unleash their truest, wildest instincts so that they become women who can finally look at themselves and say: There She Is.

Summary
"There is a voice of longing inside every woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good mothers, daughters, partners, employees, citizens, and friends. We believe all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives, relationships, and world, and wonder: Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful. We hide our simmering discontent--even from ourselves. Until we reach our boiling point. Four years ago, Glennon Doyle--bestselling Oprah-endorsed author, renowned activist and humanitarian, wife and mother of three--was speaking at a conference when a woman entered the room. Glennon looked at her 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. Soon she realized that they came to her from within. Glennon was finally hearing her own voice--the voice that had been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning, numbing addictions, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl Glennon had been before the world told her who to be. She vowed to never again abandon herself. She decided to build a life of her own--one based on her individual desire, intuition, and imagination. She would reclaim her true, untamed self. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both a memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It offers a piercing, electrifying examination of the restrictive expectations women are issued from birth; shows how hustling to meet those expectations leaves women feeling dissatisfied and lost; and reveals that when we quit abandoning ourselves and instead abandon the world's expectations of us, we become women who can finally look at our lives and recognize: There She Is. Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get"--

Summary
"La cantante Adele ha hablado mucho en la prensa sobre este libro y cómo la ha ayudado a cambiar... La publicación del libro ha generado un movimiento global en redes. El nuevo libro de Glenon Doyle, una autora superventas, activista y conocida bloguera que ha revolucionado las redes con una sencilla pregunta: ¿quién eras tú antes de que el mundo te dijera cómo debías ser? A los treinta y nueve años, casada con el padre de sus tres hijos, Glennon Doyle se enamoró de una mujer. Ese día empezó para ella la aventura de volver a escuchar su propia voz, la misma que décadas de imperativos culturales, condicionamientos sociales y adicciones adormecedoras habían silenciado. Íntimo e hilarante, contundente y conmovedor, este libro es la historia del torbellino que Glennon y su familia vivieron cuando conoció a la que hoy es su esposa. Es el testimonio de una mujer que rompió patrones impuestos desde el nacimiento para construir una vida basada en el propio deseo, la intuición y la imaginación. Ante todo, Indomable es un grito de guerra dirigido a todas las mujeres dispuestas a creer en sí mismas lo suficiente como para romper barreras, aceptar sus cuerpos, liberar sus instintos más sinceros y recuperar su yo más auténtico: su naturaleza indomable."--Amazon.com.

Summary
Melton shares her journey from reckless college girl hooked on alcohol, drugs, bulimia, and toxic relationships to becoming a sober and devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and teacher. Her stories embody her need to tell and hear the truth, to be sometimes brave and sometimes silent, to say I'm sorry, to trust in something more powerful than herself, and to stop making motherhood, marriage, and friendship harder by pretending they're not hard.

Summary
"For years Glennon Doyle Melton built a wall between herself and others, hiding inside a bunker of secrets and shame. But one day everything changed: Glennon woke up to life, committing herself to living out loud and giving language to our universal (yet often secret) experiences. She became a sensation when her personal essays started going viral. Her ... observations have been read by millions, shared among friends, discussed at water coolers, and have now inspired a social movement. In [this book], Melton shares new stories and the best-loved material from Momastery.com. Her mistakes and triumphs demonstrate that love wins and that together we can do hard things"--Dust jacket flap.
