Author Talk: Glennon Doyle - How to Find yourself

The legendary author of Love Warrior explores the themes of her latest book, Untamed – 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.

‘We are so lucky to have Glennon’s courage and wisdom in the world. We need this kind of truth telling if we are ever going to find our way back to each other.’ – Brene Brown

‘Glennon shows us the clearest meaning of “To thine own self be true”. It’s as if she reached into her heart, captured the raw emotions there and translated them into words that anyone who’s ever known pain or shame – in other words, every human on the planet – can relate to.’ – Oprah Winfrey

There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive 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, and overwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this?

Live from the US, Glennon Doyle joins the How To Academy to show us that another way is possible. The #1 New York Times bestselling author and humanitarian NGO founder is an inspiration to millions across the globe — but for many years, she, like the rest of the us, denied her own discontent. In this talk, she’ll tell the story of how she quit living up to the world’s expectations of her and learn to be free.

She’ll lay down a roadmap for 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.. It’s time to quit pleasing — and start living.
