A review by calebmatthews
Untamed by Glennon Doyle

5.0

I devoured this book. I may not agree with everything in it, but it still gets five stars for how much it made me think.

Here are some of my favorite parts and parts where I paused to think:


-When we learn how to please we lose how to decide
-What’s the one thing you would protect
-The Secret life (poem)
-It’s not about feeling happy, its about feeling it all
-Our next life will always cost us the life we are in
-Become a model not a martyr
-Dealing with a dropped shoe is a lot less paralyzing than waiting for the shoe to drop
-Ache is the clubhouse of the brave
-Since I have become sober I have felt pain everyday
-Mona Lisa story
-Now that I don’t have to be perfect, I can be free (offshoot of a John Steinbeck quote)
-On “being broken”
-I am not broken because I am made how I am intended to be made
-On “being brave” don’t ask others do what you believe
-Surface desire vs deep desire
-Anger and disappointment “packages”
-I will not let the fact that I can’t do everything prevent me from doing anything
