I love, love, love Glennon Doyles Untamed & even reading through this readers guide had me pondering questions and insights I hadn't thought of before reading the book. I could see just one or two questions making a book club meeting come alive with heartfelt discussion.

After reading Untamed by Glennon, I was glad to have the opportunity to read and utilize the Book Club Kit. Great resource for book clubs – or even individual use. I just reviewed Book Club Kit: Untamed by Glennon Doyle. #NetGalley

Thank you for the Book Club Kit! I enjoyed Untamed and thought that this Book Club Kit added a lot more insight to it! It would be the perfect addition to any book club reading this.

After reading and enjoying Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, I was excited to see the book club guide. It did not disappoint. The questions included allow book club members to explore some of their own feelings in relation to Glennon’s writing and allow the reader a more in-depth personal study by providing some writing and activity prompts. This could easily be used as a journaling guide for self-discovery.

I enjoyed this book club kit ;) I didn't realize what it was to start with as I'm new to this platform. I have not read the book but I have read through the bookclub kit and I feel it has given me a insight to the book and I feel that this book may not be something I would be interested in reading at this time, it sounds very interesting though so maybe in the future :)

This is a book club kit of Glennon Doyle’s “Untamed” (2021). This colorful brief volume features a 3 part comprehensive readers study guide complete with an introduction and suggestions for discussion enhancement. It is necessary to have read the actual book, as parts from the book are mentioned throughout but not reprinted for reference.
It is notable that “Untamed” was part memoir and part self-help. In addition to being a NYT bestselling author, activist and motivational speaker, Ms, Doyle is the founder of Together Rising (2012-) a non-profit organization that has raised over 25 million USD for families in need. Ms. Doyle observed that is necessary to combine activism with philanthropy to avoid the risk of “becoming co-dependent with power.”

In exploring the “magic” of the “hard emotions” as heartbreak, anger, grief can be an anchor to learn more about ourselves and often meaningful work opportunities in employment, activism, or volunteering. The differences between low-wage workers and those with higher incomes are obvious. No amount of magical thinking can ease the social injustice of mental illness, addiction, poverty etc. This is just one example of many topics in the guide used for self-reflection. The overall purpose of this guide is to facilitate self-exploration, inspire confidence, listening and trusting the “inner voice” through personal development-- sharing in group discussion and awareness. (3*GOOD) With thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources via NetGalley for the DDC for the purpose of review.

I found this book club kit to be interesting--it didn't include an author interview like others have, but that makes sense as the book is a memoir, and thus, about the author. I also found that I enjoyed that the order of the questions went along with the order of the book. The enhancements included were also wonderful, as there were options to prepare things to bring to book club or to take time during book club to think and write a letter, which would be great for a discussion that may have lost steam. Overall, I found the material included to be helpful and a nice addition to the book.

“…’Who was I before I became who the world told me to be?’ Have everyone in your book club bring a photograph of themselves that they feel captures their original and wild self. When they share the photo with the group, have them explain what about the picture captures them looking ‘Untamed’...” Glennon Doyle, “Untamed”

STAR RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Sincere Appreciation to NetGalley, Author Glennon Doyle, and Publisher Penguin Random House Library Resources for Providing an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) for Review.

Additional Reviews by ‘TheBookMavenJoy’ can be found on Goodreads.

I really enjoyed reading Untamed on my own, and I thought frequently while reading it that I would love to chat over the book with friend or my book club. This material will give me a great starting place. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for a copy of this book for an honest review.

This kit was helpful and did lend itself to supporting a book club discussion, but wasn't anything that you wouldn't get with a quick internet search. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a dealbreaker.

Much as you would expect from a Book Club Kit, a handy little guide, helpful for both individual readers and book groups alike.

I loved this book club kit for the book Untamed. The questions were thought provoking and deeper than I expected. The book itself is amazing and the questions continue to help you dive deeper. I loved the together rising part at the end and the opportunity for action.

I look forward to using this with our book club next month.

I will be recommending Untamed for our next nonfiction read and this guide is excellent. I loved the in depth questions and how to get involved in Glennon’s Together Rising. Excellent and will be using.

My book club read Untamed and used this as a guide. It was incredibly helpful and really helped us dig into the material. Thank you for making this available!!

Great Book Club Kit as a supplement to Untamed! I read this book last year & it was nice to revisit & reflect on the book! Would definitely recommend for Book Clubs or anyone who wants to reflect on the book alone!

This is probably the most in depth guide I have seen by book club kit so far. I liked how the questions were split into sections so groups can address them as they move through the book. It's something I haven't thought of before, but it makes complete sense to have them flow from start to finish. Certainly another great addition for book clubs looking to read this book and have a discussion based around it.

This is a great resource for book clubs! The questions are broken up into different sections which is a nice way to structure discussions. I also like the suggested activities at the end and I think they are great options to apply the takeaways from the novel rather than just discussing them.

I thought this book offered a wide-variety of questions to go with Glennon Doyle's book, Untamed. I think it would be a great asset for any book club that is looking to dive into productive conversation of the book.

Oops, i thought this was the actual book again, when i requested it it just came up with Untamed and I didn't see anything about it being a bookclub kit, i mean, itstill helped though with discussing the book. it makes discussions easier

Untamed is one of the most admirable non fiction book. To me short chapters are so easy pick up and read anytime like a self help book! The Bookclub kit had questions that I wanted to reason and understand for myself more than for any Bookclub or buddy read discussion! If you are a librarian or Bookclub reader where you are discussing this book, the questions listed are super helpful! Thank you NetGalley for this Bookclub kit! I am loving the concept of this and hope you have more available for request!
