Carry On, Warrior

Thoughts on Life Unarmed

By: Glennon Doyle Melton

Narrated by: Glennon Doyle Melton

**The first book from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed**

The inspiring and hilarious instant New York Times bestseller from the beloved writer, speaker, activist, and founder of Momastery, whose memoir Love Warrior was an Oprah’s Book Club selection.

Glennon Doyle’s hilarious and poignant reflections on our universal (yet often secret) experiences have inspired a social movement by reminding women that they’re not alone. In Carry On, Warrior, she shares her personal story in moving, refreshing, and laugh-out-loud new essays and some of the best-loved material from Momastery. Her writing invites us to believe in ourselves, to be brave and kind, to let go of the idea of perfection, and to stop making motherhood, marriage, and friendship harder by pretending they’re not hard. In this one woman’s attempt to love herself and others, readers will find a wise and witty friend who shows that we can build better lives in our hearts, homes, and communities.

All the feels

I had no idea what to expect with this book and had never heard of the author, but I liked the cover, the title and it received really good reviews, so why not? Glennon's stories are completely relatable, raw, and real, sometimes wrapped up in a sweet package and sometimes leaving you feeling like you've been punched in the gut. Without giving too much away, I almost stopped listening within the first 20 minutes because I didn't really have much in common with her background and the hardships she was describing, but as I listened longer, I found a realness and transparency that would hit anyone right in the heart. Her language is beautiful, but the true beauty of her story is how her mind works and how she expresses her perspective on life, motherhood, and family.

Beautifully written

I admit, I read Love Warrior first. I would probably love this book more if I had read it before Love Warrior.
This book reads like a blog with the stories connected but not requiring any sort of order to navigate through them.

Amazing!

This book is truly inspiring! I have now read two of this author's books and both have been just amazing.

So good!

Love her insight and her presentation. She is so easy to listen to and so right provoking.

This book triggered me!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am glad that it came into my life via a recommendation from a friend. Although not expressly about relationships, this book triggered me and my views on relationships and the relationship that is possible for me. I laughed and cried. I cried and laughed. I am thankful to you, Glennon, for sharing your story. You are smart and funny and amazing. 10/10. Highly recommend.
