This is described as a memoir, so I had to manage my expectations while reading when it turned out to be a collection of essays instead. Glennon shares a lot of personal stories and encourages other people struggling or dealing with difficult situations to keep going. Her essays are thoughtful, reflective, and aware. I read this a few months ago, and am having trouble remembering more about my initial impressions. #LGBTQIA #Nonfiction

Not a fan. Started ok and some interesting thoughts but wasn't intrested in her life personal or self discovery, which, midway through the book began to feel like an individual self proclaimed new age wisdom self help book.

Book club for July. It's strangely compelling. I can't say it's an enjoyable book but I keep reading it. I think I find her a little evangelical in approach, like a motivational speaker.

Thought this was a novel. Oops.
I still read maybe 1/3 of it, and it wasn‘t bad but I dno…a book abt a white Christian lady (who came out later in life and seems to be fairly grounded and reasonable, to be fair) is just not what I wanna spend time on. It was alright but some bits felt distinctly self-helpy (I do read from that section and I enjoy essays/memoirs, but this felt like one of those 90s motivational talks which I didn‘t appreciate)

My IRL book club‘s discussion of Doyle's and Wambach's specific experiences led to what "norms" were instilled in most of us by our parents, many of whom never actually thought to question why families, religious beliefs, etc had to be a certain way. There is not just one correct way to be or to live.

Just wow.
Put this one at the top of your list. I've heard this is a book for women, but this is a book for humans. I am telling you, there are some pieces of wisdom in here that changed me. Changed me right as I read the words.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A #reread for my IRL #bookclub. I appreciated it the first time around, but knowing now that it was life-changing for a friend, I went in with that perspective in mind. It‘s a solid self-help style memoir with several valid points, perhaps the biggest takeaway being: TRUST YOURSELF.

Happy Women's History Month! I really enjoyed this auto-bio/self-help. I don't know if it really fits those genres. But it oozes feminism, self love/acceptance, and trying to live as your most authentic self in a world that wants to quiet you.

I can't decide if I love this book or hate it. I also found this book to be is a highly narcissistic at times. I think it's a dangerous book for souls who maybe lost looking for answers. While following her "knowing" was her answer, alot of people's moral compasses are misdirected and their "knowing" is highly hurtful. Be your higher - self but also take accountability for your actions and choices. It was a book that made me think for sure.

24- a recommendation from my therapist, and proved just what I needed! Something to come back to over time to extract more nuggets of wisdom! Made up of personal anecdotes that can be consumed in short windows over time or all at once.

I was interested in this book after reading Glennon‘s soccer tweets. How could someone married to Abby Wambach be so (hilariously) unfamiliar with the beautiful game? I know now, and the wisdom of what she shares is beautiful. If I were A.) the type of person to write in books and B.) someone who buys books instead of borrowing I would have underlined this whole damn book. Instead I just whispered yessssssssss to myself over and over again.

Back into UNTAMED with the last of the black sugar milk tea choco pie and some non-milk tea to dip it in. I loved Part One, which is deeply personal, but I was less into the life coachy stuff in Part Two. Time to see what Part Three holds.

Did some outdoor reading on this glorious 33° day, with plenty of water and a choco pie for company. Korea is way better than Canada at Wagon Wheels.

I read the first chunk of UNTAMED during this session, and I think Doyle‘s memoir in vignettes is gonna hit me hard. So far, it‘s a powerful call to consider and fight against all the ways contemporary society guides us to be less than we are.

I did not find the author particularly likeable. I found myself bothered that she makes a living on “self-help“ but it isn't until this book that she was able to honestly live in her truth.

I found myself losing patience for her. The chapters were short and the book was a fast read. The concept of “be yourself“ was not exactly revolutionary. Some of the short stories were enjoyable. Others seemed self-righteous, exaggerated, and unbelievable.

I‘m not an inspirational book gal but when Brandi Carlile is a fan, I‘ll check it out. Some parts of the tagged book are not for me and that‘s okay but 80% of this is excellent. Lots of stuff I will keep to share with my kiddo. Who is an overexplainer 😆

My #Doublespin for April. Some great nuggets of wisdom in this one. Its short-burst chapters and Glennon's conversational style make it incredibly readable. The organization felt a little off at times, but overall, well worth the read. @TheAromaofBooks

I'm not big on self-help books, but OMG this book is a masterpiece. I love how she tells her story and then tells little anecdotes that would seem like simple everyday occurrences but, given the context, make you reconsider your comfort zone and the way you approach life. I also love Doyle's podcast. 🙌

Suet624 I used to read a lot of self-help books and finally stopped. However, I‘ll always check out a book by Glennon. This really was a good one. 2y
