Loved it. But there is a small but.... The author sometimes has a bit of a simplistic, masochistic and Christian take on the subject. Then again, the world has progressed since this book was written I guess and at some point the age in which it may have been written is evident. I believe the principles mostly still hold validty. Lots of love languages to now watch out for, understand and/or cultivate.

How can you not plunge deep into the depths of the Bachelor fantasy. Sometimes the mirror is the ugly that reflects back to you the beauty of what your actual life really is like. Like amy Kaufman, I believe that is why the Bachelor experiment could be seen as community service to help us refect on our own lives. Amy's brilliant research for this book is clear, and her upbeat but authentic narration makes it a fun listen (because face it...take the topic seriously, but there is no need to take yourself so seriously). From a social and human behaviour point of view, I learnt a heap from this book.

This is the first book I've listened to after we were made aware that our son is differently wired. And I'm so glad that I listened. It changed my perspective a great deal on the areas I'd need to work on in order to support my son better. Us parents play such an important role in moulding our kids to stand on their own feet, and I've realised that the way in which our 2E kids operate at a different level can be made or broken by our own understanding and undertaking. We need to show up for them. And this book will surely be one of my guides on this journey. Deborah Reder mentions her podcast. I can't find it on Amazon....yet. I truly hope that it will be available soon. Thank you for writing this book!

I am a religious follower of Glennon's We Can Do Hard Things podcast and have been waiting for a long time to listen to her audiobook of Untamed. So many of these stories I have heard on the podcast, but now, listening to her 'becoming untamed' story in totality, has been just what I needed at this specific page turning point in my own life. Glennon is unabashadly unique, and the world needs more brave thinkers and doers. Thank you for sharing your perspective....I have been unwrapping each chapter with gratitude.

It was a privilege to gain these deep insights into the stories that have been locked into Tim O'Brien's mind. Thank you for penning them with down with such authenticity. I won't forget these words: "I write because I guess I'm trying to save Timmy's life." The realities of war stories will live on in books such as these.

Loved the book, and learnt that change for the better, even in parenting, starts with you.

Forgetting who and what Matthew McConaughey is, his story is so unique because of his perspective on life. I have learnt so much personally of who I was, am and want to be just by engaging in his story. Matthew, just as all of us do, deserves to pat himself on the back for the perspective he has maintained throughout his life. We all need to be a little kinder and gentler towards each other, but in order to do that we need to first be kind and gentle to ourselves. I felt that the stories and pits of wisdom he imparts on his readers/listeners have accomplished exactly that....to remind ourselves to always at least try to strive for perspective in any given red light, amber light or green light situation. Loved the lively narration as well. No other narrator could have shone the authenticity of Matthew's soul the same way the man himself can do. I'm damn sad the book is finished.
