Le jour où Glennon Doyle croise le regard de celle qui deviendra sa compagne, son existence bascule. Cet événement inattendu lui fait prendre conscience qu'elle n'a cessé jusqu'alors d'étouffer ses désirs pour se conformer aux diktats de la société. Elle découvre aussi qu'une mère responsable n'est pas celle qui s'oublie pour ses enfants, mais une femme qui leur montre comment vivre pleinement.
Glennon Doyle est activiste, conférencière et présidente d'une association caritative dédiée aux réfugiés, aux femmes et aux enfants en difficulté. Elle a écrit Love Warrior et Carry On, Warrior, tous deux best-sellers et classés en première place du New York Times.- Un TÉMOIGNAGE intime, percutant et tendre, qui donne envie d'ÊTRE SOI-MÊME.- Une histoire qui NOUS INVITE À CROIRE EN NOUS, à poser nos limites, à devenir audacieux et indomptés !- « Des LEÇONS DE VIE simples et efficaces, un message libératoire sur la maternité. » Elle.Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Delphine Billaut.
UN TÉMOIGNAGE POUR REPRENDRE SON POUVOIR EN CONSCIENCE.
Glennon Doyle Melton coche les toutes les cases de la réussite : trois enfants heureux, treize ans de mariage auprès d'un époux aimant et une carrière si exceptionnelle que ses livres se hissent aux premières places des bestsellers du New York Times. Pourtant, une ombre voile bientôt ce tableau idyllique quand son mari lui avoue ses infidélités.
Mais Glennon n'est pas le genre de femme qui se laisse abattre. Habitée par une force qu'elle tire de sa résilience face à ses expériences d'addictions (drogue, alcool, boulimie) qu'elle a connu pendant l'adolescence, Glennon sait qu'elle est capable de se relever. Love Warrior, c'est l'histoire d'un mariage et de sa fin, mais c'est aussi la preuve que la guérison est accessible à toutes celles et ceux qui éprouvent les douleurs d'un amour déçu. Apprendre à s'accepter, à s'aimer tel que nous sommes pour reprendre goût à la vie sont les fils conducteurs de cet incroyable témoignage que l'auteure résume ainsi : " Si vous avez à choisir entre votre mariage et votre âme, vous devez choisir votre âme."

Who were you before the world told you who to be? When women learn to please they forget who they are. Part inspiration, part memoir Untamed explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and instead dare to listen to and trust in the voice deep inside us. From the beloved New York Times bestselling author, speaker and activist Glennon Doyle.
'Untamed will liberate women - emotionally, spiritually and physically. It is phenomenal.' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love 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 realised 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 stop abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world's expectations of her. She stopped being good so she could be free. She stopped pleasing and started living.
Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanising 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 also the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honour our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts.
Untamed shows us how to be brave. And, as Glennon insists, 'The braver we are, the luckier we get.
