I thought that most of it was timely and relevant, and as a white women I feel the need to constantly read literature to help me self-actualize and grow. That being said, overall, I did enjoy Untamed. I also think that those books ( For the Love of Men, Between the World and Me, & Era of Ignition to name a few) dove a bit deeper into some of the topics Doyle writes about, so it was sometimes difficult not to view Doyle’s story as just another privileged white women trying to organize her thoughts. Some of her points seemed repetitive, and maybe that’s because I have read so many incredible books around self-growth and trying to do better this year, and this came at the tail end of that. In the beginning, I found I wasn’t ‘buying into’ a lot of what Doyle was trying to capture for me. At least not for the first half of it… but it got better. And while I am not here to be negative, I am here to be honest: I was not instantly filled with a sense of overwhelming praise for this book. Many of the reviews I have read for Untamed are praising every word that Glennon Doyle has written.
