Every life is an unprecedented experiment. We are all pioneers. I created Get Untamed: The Journal as an interactive experience in charting our own way - so we can let burn that which is not true and beautiful enough and get started building what is." - Glennon DoyleWith Untamed, Glennon Doyle -writer, activist, and "patron saint of female empowerment" (People) - ignited a movement. Untamed has been described as "a wake-up call" (Tracee Ellis Ross), "an anthem for women today" (Kristen Bell), and a book that "will shake your brain and make your soul scream" (Adele).

"Otämjbar kommer att befria kvinnor emotionellt, spirituellt och kroppsligt. Det är en fenomenal bok." ELIZABETH GILBERT (Eat, pray, love) Otämjbar är en sinnlig, upprorisk och kärleksfull bok. Både en självutlämnande memoar och en obeveklig väckarklocka. Det är berättelsen om hur en kvinna kom till insikt om att en ansvarsfull mamma inte är någon som långsamt går mot döden för sina barn, utan en som visar dem hur man lever sitt liv fullt ut. Det är historien om att navigera sig fram efter en skilsmässa, bilda en ny familj och insikten om att en familjs väl och ve inte beror på dess struktur utan på varje familjemedlems förmåga att vara sig själv inför de andra. Det är också en beskrivning om hur vi alla kan börja lita på oss själva tillräckligt mycket för att våga sätta gränser och acceptera våra kroppar, vara stolta över vår ilska och omfamna våra krossade hjärtan och förlösa våra sannaste, vildaste instinkter så att vi blir de kvinnor som äntligen kan se oss själva i spegeln och säga: Där är Hon. Otämjbar lär oss att vara modiga. Som Glennon Doyle själv envist brukar säga: Ju modigare vi är, desto lyckligare blir vi.Med förord skrivet av Alexandra Pascalidou.Glennon Doyle är författaren bakom New York Times-bestseller böckerna Otämjbar (utvald av Reeses Book Club), Love Warrior (Utvald av Oprahs Book Club) och Carry On Warrior. Som aktivist och opinionsmakare är Glennon grundare och ordförande för Together Rising som jobbar med välgörenhet på gräsrotsnivå och hittills samlat in över 25 miljoner USD till kvinnor, familjer och barn i kris. Glennon Doyle bor i Florida, USA, tillsammans med sin fru, fotbollsstjärnan Abby Wambach och tre barn sedan ett tidigare äktenskap. "Detta är en pion bland tistlar, en självlysande discokula i ett strömlöst mörker och en väns hand när livet möter motvind. Jag omfamnas, omskakas och känner mig omåttligt överväldigad. Vad mer kan man önska av en bok i detta nu?" @carolinesbokhylla

”Denne bog vil ryste din hjerne og få din sjæl til at skrige. Jeg er så klar til mig selv efter at have læst denne bog!”– Adele ”Sprængfyldt med fantastiske indsigter om, hvad det betyder at være kvinde i dag”– Reese WitherspoonDer er en dyb længsel i enhver kvinde. Vi kæmper så indædt for at være gode: gode partnere, døtre, mødre, medarbejdere og venner. Vi håber, at vores stræben vil få os til at føle os i live. I stedet efterlader den os i en tilstand, hvor vi føler os trætte, stillestående, overvældede og undervældede. Vi betragter vores liv og tænker: Var det ikke meningen, at det skulle være smukkere end dette? Sjælfuld og oprørsk, kraftfuld og øm – UTÆMMET er en intim erindringsbog og et wake-up call. Det er historien om en kvinde, der lærte, at en ansvarlig mor ikke er hende, der langsomt dør for sine børn, men hende, der viser dem, hvordan man lever sit liv fuldt ud. Det er historien om at navigere gennem en skilsmisse og danne en ny, blandet familie. Og det er historien om, hvordan vi alle kan begynde at stole nok på os selv til at sætte grænser, stifte fred med vores kroppe, anerkende vores vrede og hjertesorg og sætte vores vilde og sande instinkter fri, så vi kan blive kvinder, der omsider kan se på os selv og sige: Der Er Hun!

Glennon Doylen kirja Kesytön — Vapaa ja aito elämä on omakohtainen kertomus elämän ja identiteetin hajoamisesta ja uudelleenrakentamisesta. Doyle joutuu kyseenalaistamaan avioliittonsa, seksuaalisuutensa,uskontonsa ja uskomuksiaan elämästä ja maailmasta. Kirja on intiimi, rehellinen ja rohkea kertomus muutoksista ja kriiseistä sekä niistä selviytymisestä.Doylen omien kokemusten kautta nousee esiin monille yhteisiä kysymyksiä. Miksi elämä tuntuu joskus epätyydyttävältä, vaikka kaikki on periaatteessa hyvin? Miksi unohdamme usein oman itsemme ulkopuolisten vaikutteiden ja mielipiteiden takia? Miten voimme oppia kuuntelemaan omaa sisäistä ääntämme ja elää omannäköistä elämää? Mitä tarkoittaa olla äiti, nainen ja ihminen nykymaailmassa? Luopumalla vanhoista rooleista ja uskomuksista löytyy vapaus elää uudenlaista ja aitoa elämää.Doyle kirjoittaa avoimesti kokemuksistaan masennuksesta, addiktioista, vanhemmuudesta, naiseudesta ja sosiaalisista epäkohdista. Doyle tarjoaa inspiroivan esimerkin muutoksesta, joka on mahdollinen kaikille. Kesytön on jatkoa teokselle Rakkauden soturi (Viisas Elämä 2017), jossa Doyle kertoi alkoholismistaan, bulimiastaan ja avioliittonsa ongelmista.Glennon Doyle on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, bloggaaja, puhuja ja aktivisti. Hän on yltänyt kirjoillaan The New York Timesin bestseller-listan ykköseksi. Hän johtaa perustamaansa hyväntekeväisyysjärjestöä Together Rising, joka auttaa naisia ja perheitä kriisien keskellä. Doyle elää vaimonsa ja kolmen lapsensa kanssa Naplesissa, Floridassa.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - OVER THREE 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."Untamed will liberate women--emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal."--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray LoveA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Bloomberg, Parade 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.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Oprah's Book Club Selection "Riveting...a worthy investment...this book has real wisdom."--New York Times Book Review "Provocative....I adore her honesty, her vulnerability, and her no-nonsense wisdom, and I know you will, too."--Oprah WinfreyThe highly anticipated memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Love Warrior tells the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage. Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out--three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times bestseller list--her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life. Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This astonishing memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one another--and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they've been taught so that they can finally, after thirteen years of marriage, commit to living true--true to themselves and to each other. Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we are born to be warriors: strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for us all. This chronicle of a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life.
