具体描述
In her most revealing and powerful book yet, the beloved activist, speaker, and author of the bestselling sensations Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and start trusting the voice deep within us.
“Untamed will liberate women—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I believe Glennon was born to write this book, just this way, at just this moment in history. It is phenomenal.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love
This is how you find yourself.
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 ourselves and recognize: There She Is.
Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get.

读后感
第一次听到Glennon Doyle的声音，是无意间在Spotify上听到一期她聊感恩节如何回老家面对讨厌的亲戚，她说，只要想着亲戚会保持他们一贯的作风，该吐槽你的还是会吐槽你，别期待有啥奇迹出现。我当时想，老外也有见亲戚的苦恼啊。之后就一发不可收拾的听了几乎她所有的节目。（...

用户评价
这部小说读起来简直让人欲罢不能！作者对人物心理的刻画细腻入微，仿佛每一个角色的内心挣扎、喜悦和痛苦都能清晰地感知到。尤其是在主角面临重大抉择的那几章，那种内心的天人交战、情感的跌宕起伏，让我多次停下来，深吸一口气，才能继续读下去。情节的推进张弛有度，关键时刻的总能设置出令人拍案叫绝的反转，让人在猜不到下一步走向的同时，又觉得一切水到渠成，逻辑严密。叙事视角在不同人物间流畅切换，使得整个故事的立体感和厚重感大大增强，即便是配角的命运也得到了充分的尊重和展现。而且，作者的文字功底极其扎实，那些用来描绘环境和氛围的词句，如同油画般浓墨重彩，将故事发生的那个世界描绘得栩栩如生，光影和色彩的运用简直是教科书级别的。读完合上书本时，心中久久不能平静，感觉自己仿佛真的跟随主角经历了一场漫长而深刻的旅程，收获的不仅是故事本身，更是一种对人性复杂性的全新理解。
这部作品最成功的地方在于它对“成长”这个主题的解构与重塑。主角的成长路径绝非坦途，充满了试错、迷茫和痛苦的洗礼。作者没有把主角塑造成一个完美无缺的英雄，而是展现了一个有血有肉、会犯错、会退缩的个体，这种真实感极大地拉近了读者与角色的距离。我看着他从一个懵懂的少年，一步步成长为能够独当一面的领导者，中间经历了的那些背叛、失去和自我怀疑，都让人感同身受。这种循序渐进的心理转变，远比一蹴而就的“开挂”更具有文学价值和说服力。更难得的是，作者在描绘主角蜕变的同时，也没有忽略配角群像的丰满度，每个人都有自己的弧光和不可替代的作用，使得整个故事的群像戏精彩绝伦，各个角色如同星辰般闪耀，共同构成了这片浩瀚的夜空。
这本书的语言风格非常独特，初读时可能需要适应一下，但一旦沉浸进去，就会被那种古典与现代交织的韵律所吸引。它不像某些畅销书那样追求即时的感官刺激，而是更注重营造一种沉静、内敛却力量十足的氛围。作者似乎对文字有着近乎偏执的精准度，每一个形容词和动词的选择都恰到好处，绝无半点多余。我特别喜欢它处理情感冲突的方式——往往不是通过激烈的对白来爆发，而是通过人物克制的肢体语言和眼神交流来展现内心的波涛汹涌，这种“留白”的处理手法，极大地增强了情感的张力和感染力。读到一些关键情节时，我甚至能感受到那种文字本身的重量，仿佛捧着的不是纸张，而是沉甸甸的命运。这是一部需要慢品，值得反复咀嚼的佳作，每次重读都会有新的感悟。
说实话，我一开始对这种篇幅较长的小说有些望而却步，但这本书的叙事节奏把握得实在太好了，完全没有冗长拖沓的感觉。每一章的结尾都像一个小小的钩子，精准地勾住了读者的好奇心，让人忍不住想立刻翻到下一页。最让我赞叹的是作者构建的世界观体系，宏大而又充满了细节。那些奇特的设定、独特的社会结构和古老的传说，都被巧妙地融入到日常的对话和行动中，丝毫没有生硬的“信息倾倒”，而是自然而然地渗透出来。这本书不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一部关于某个文明兴衰的百科全书，充满了历史的厚重感和文化的多样性。那些关于权力、信仰和牺牲的探讨，也让人在享受阅读乐趣的同时，陷入更深层次的思考。对我来说，这是一次非常满足的阅读体验，它挑战了我的想象力，同时也提供了坚实的逻辑支撑。
我通常不太喜欢阅读篇幅巨大的史诗类作品，总担心后期会审美疲劳，但这部小说从头到尾都保持着极高的叙事水准和主题深度，令人惊叹。它巧妙地将宏大的历史背景与微观的个人命运编织在一起，探讨了诸如历史的必然性与个体能动性的关系等深刻哲学命题。在阅读过程中，我反复思考，如果我处在那样一个时代背景下，会做出何种选择？这种强烈的代入感和反思性，是很多优秀作品都不易达到的高度。此外，书中对于不同文化习俗的细致描摹，展现了作者深厚的田野调查功底或者广博的知识储备，使得虚构的世界拥有了令人信服的“真实感”。总而言之，这是一部在结构、深度和广度上都堪称上乘的杰作，它不仅提供了娱乐，更提供了一种思想的矿藏，值得被所有人认真对待和细细品味。
audible上听完了这一本。Who defines us? Our job? Being a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend? Then we'll lose these titles once we no longer have our job, parents, husband, children, friends. Maybe that's why we are panicked, anxious and afraid. Most of the time, we forget that, we are just us, ourselves.
The thing is, physiology books are all similar like telling people almost the same thing, but, still how people can be healed are mostly depending on their own and the way they think. But it’s ok, still. At least it made people who read books feeling peace and love.
listened.
An underwhelming read that should be released as blog posts
读了百分之20 感觉有点像鸡汤 弃了
