#1 New York Times Bestseller

The Newest Oprah's Bookclub 2016 Selection

The highly anticipated new memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle Melton tells the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage.

Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out―three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the
New York Times bestseller list―her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.

Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This astonishing memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one another - and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they've been taught so that they can finally, after thirteen years of marriage, commit to living true―true to themselves and to each other.

Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we are born to be warriors: strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for us all. This chronicle of a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A testament to the power of vulnerability. 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. She's bravely put everything on the table for the whole world to see."
Oprah Winfrey (Oprah's Book Club 2016 selection)

"
Love Warrior reaches a depth of truth and power and emotional gravity that is rarely seen in the world, and even more rarely spoken aloud. Glennon's story about the resurrection of her marriage (a tale of a woman daring to come into her body, and a man daring to come into his mind, and the two of them daring―with outrageous courage―to trust each other) is something beyond merely inspirational; it is epic. I think of this book as the vital, long-overdue, much-needed sister memoir to Eat Pray Love. Glennon lifts the roof off her whole house―her whole life―and examines everything, right out in the open. She has, indeed, become a Love Warrior. This book is an act of love and truth and generosity; it will change lives."
Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love

"This is a book about what it means to be human―to wrestle with love, hurt, addiction, vulnerability, intimacy, and grace.
Love Warrior blew me away. We can all find pieces of our own stories reflected in Glennon's powerful words. We are so lucky to have her 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."
Brené Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly

"How can I do justice to this book? Moving and brilliant and funny and shocking and heartbreaking and inspiring,
Love Warrior raises provocative questions about just what is possible for a person, a marriage, a family, a life. At the heart of this story is the insistence that we don't have to settle―we can explore our shadows, and we're not just going to survive it, but we're going to come out the other side a whole new person with new love, new hope, new strength, and maybe even a new marriage. This is a big, stunning, buoyant, honest, raw glimpse into the life of an astonishing woman, but it is also a punch in the face to anyone anywhere who believes that this is just how it is and it's not going to get any better."
Rob Bell, New York Times bestselling author of Love Wins

"This elegant, moving memoir is about one woman's marriage but also much more than that. Glennon writes about a hunger for love that all of us feel and the only food that ultimately feeds us. She understands the unique relationship between spiritual and romantic love, and in finding one, she masters the other. Truly a wonderful book."
Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love

"When I finished the last page of
Love Warrior, I sobbed. I sobbed because I was in awe. Because I didn't want it to end. Because it made me believe more deeply in love, in humanity, in forgiveness, in God, in marriage. Glennon and Craig have invited us so far into the messy, beautiful, difficult insides of their hearts and lives, and what we find there is profoundly inspiring. This is a book that will change lives, change marriages, change the way we think and talk about what love really is."
Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of Present Over Perfect

"A compelling story about self-discovery. Candid, brave, and generous."
Kirkus Reviews

"Glennon Doyle Melton has mastered sharing her emotional life with the world, which she does nearly daily on momastery.com. Now she lays herself bare once again in
Love Warrior, chronicling her struggles and the depths of her resilience in the darkest of times. A heroic achievement."
Family Circle

"A haunting powerhouse of a book."
Washington Post

"A book with so much painful truth packed into its pages that every person who's ever married or plans to marry should really give it a read."
Chicago Tribune

"An incredible, dark, poignant, vulnerable personal account about surviving rock bottom and finding a better life. You will be inspired by [Glennon's] resilience, strength, and womanhood."
―Real Simple


"A breathless story, beautifully told.
Love Warrior presents an intense and absorbing narrative while reaching for something bigger and more quixotic, the mystery of intimacy itself."
―Bookpage

"This memoir isn’t really about Melton rebuilding her relationship with her husband; it’s about Melton rebuilding her relationship with herself. It’s about one woman letting go of the gendered messages she’s been surrounded by her entire life, and communing with her fullest, most authentic self. Utterly refreshing and... just totally badass."
Bustle.com

"Melton is not merely relaying a narrative; she is offering her story with the hope and purpose of connection.
Love Warrior ...draws you in close, as if the author is talking to you, and only to you. Listening to such a warm and emotionally intelligent author is a worthy investment in a course on difficult conversations. But I suspect that... what will win you over is all the 'terrible magic' that happens when things fall apart."

A Brave, Powerful Memoir
This book was on my list before Oprah picked it, and I wasn't surprised when she did. It's a very brave and pretty amazing memoir, and O and G make a great team.I relate to sooo much in this book, as a woman, a mom, a wife, a FEELER. There were whole paragraphs and pages that I’ve essentially written elsewhere myself, sometimes literally word for word, like batting thoughts away like Whack-a Mole.I rarely read books more than once, even when I want to. It’s just so hard when I’ll already never be able to read all the books I want to once. But I can see myself re-reading parts of this one again, such as trying to reconcile the different ways a husband and wife want to know and be known, and how demolishing it can feel to attempt to share trauma. I don’t think I’ll ever feel like I don’t fall short on the latter, and Glennon nails it:“When a friend asks, ‘What happened?’ I want to pick up a crystal vase and smash it into the ground. That’s what happened, I’d say. The few times I try to tell the shattering as a story, I regret it. Spoken words make what happened to us to tidy, too palatable, too ordinary. I can’t describe the ferocity of the fear and rage inside me with words tame enough for the light of day. When I finish the telling, I want thunder to roll and mouths to drop open. But most often, the listener makes the pain harder for me by trying to make it easier for her.”The pain of suffering alone is great, but not as great as someone not “getting it” and substituting endless platitudes for hearing and witnessing. That is exactly why I retreated to my cave during my trauma, and it’s why I would do it again, with the exception of the support community I’ve found.There are things in the book I don’t relate to, too. I have never been at war with my body (that is not something many women say), in fact, I feel completely in touch with it, I know it, and I love it, even when sometimes I could like it a little more.And while I love all the ‘truth,’ and ‘strip down and get real,’ and ‘fight for real love’ spirit of the book, I tend to take a more crude approach to that spirit, which involves a lot more four-letter-words and a lot fewer “holding space” and “light” (though Glennon does drop her share of F-bombs, which I definitely appreciate). I am much more pounding-out-miles-and-stuff-in-my-running-shoes than breathe-from-your-belly-classes and connecting-with-the-God-in-me-in-hot-yoga. For now, I just don’t have the patience or make up for those things. (And forget the religion, I don’t have that at all.)But I love that too, that it’s not one size fits all, that it is—and has to be—whatever size fits each of us.That’s the beautiful bottom line of Love Warrior, and Glennon Doyle Melton: It’s all okay. We’re all okay. Better than okay. Love ourselves, love each other.Love that message!What else I love: Glennon lives in Florida, we are both readers and writers, we both have young kids; I know that somehow, some time, our paths will cross. And we will hug the hug of sister Warriors. I’m looking forward to that. And her next book!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
You know the girl... Or at least you know her type...

The one who lies awake worrying about everything under the sun.
The one who knows they're highly sensitive, yet unable to retain close relationships.
The one who loves hard, with intensity, yet waits for people to leave...
The one who is beautiful, yet she doesn't really believe it.
The one who hides their pain behind makeup—who seem relegated to speaking in a code that only women who buy $400 Rick Owens T-shirts, dark, obscure designer sunglasses & $500 ballet flats, are able to understand...

Although I'd pre-ordered, I wasn't sure what exactly I'd find. To be frank, I'd not heard of Ms. Melton, her blog, or anything else. I simply found the description interesting. This was the first book aside from my art & photography books, that absolutely blew me away! I think I got through 6% of it before I texted one of my friends & said, 'Oh my god, I just started reading this book and it's amazing! This was so write for us... I'm sending you the Kindle version!' I don't believe I've ever done that with a book I've not read in its entirety.

As I'm a fast reader & I finished it in under 24 hours, but don't assume it's because it was a fun, beach read. Love Warrior is poignant, refreshingly honest & for better or worse, I'd venture a guess that even those of who are single (myself & my friend included) will see themselves in all too many of these pages.

For me, the topic transcends gender in how we communicate. It varies from couple-couple, person-person, but here's the bottom line: it's time to unlearn everything you thought you knew about love & intimacy. Open hearts & open minds are our best resource & Ms. Melton's writing is such that you're glued to the page, saying, 'Holy s*it, she's writing about my life.'

I'm the type of person who can stay awake for hours & wonder why I'm even here, what's the point of life, why didn't I? why don't I?... You get the idea. Upon finishing last night, I actually texted my ex whom I dearly love. What did I say? Well... I won't paste that here, but essentially, I told him I finally understood a difference between love & intimacy. We have both, yet amazingly, in the time we've been apart, it's the intimacy that's grown. While I haven't any expectations, it was the kind of moment where I was both thrilled, yet simultaneously wanted to cry because it was as if I was given a golden ticket that had shown me how everything went oh so wrong.

Simply put, if you find yourself struggling & unable to break out of a funk, depression, and worse... Wonder what's 'wrong' with you, you need to read this book. Love Warrior reads like a novel, yet it retains the vulnerability of a memoir. Better still, it was beyond refreshing that Ms. Melton didn't opt to portray herself as perfect & her husband the enemy. She keeps everything concise, while guiding the reader through a story of love, loss, redemption, deeper love & commitment, & intimacy.

I've read plenty of books about love & relationships, and ultimately, while this may be Ms. Melton 's personal story, the wisdom is far better than any I've read I relationship books written by the so-called 'experts.' It's human. It's relatable. It doesn't claim to have all the answers, yet it seemingly delivers something that feels as though it's getting quite close.

Needless to say, I highly recommend Love Warrior. It's easily the best book I've read in 2016.

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016
I started following Glennon`s writings through Facebook and quickly started to fall in love with this amazingly wonderfull, nakedly real, relatable, loving and wise woman. This book of her life enabled me to see how that wisdom came to be. After over five decades of living, I've come to the point of re-examining my programming and some of my deepest beliefs. I've learned that some of these deepest beliefs I have relied on my whole life have been untrue. That's a very disconcerting time in a person's life (also oddly exciting as I begin to learn that there is more and better out there). I've been on this journey of spiritual rediscovery for about a year now and though I can say I am learning, I know I'm not done yet. Just the day before I started reading this book, I had been praying again for further guidance , and greater truth. I'd actually forgotten that I ordered the ebook until it appeared in my Kindle. I have other books I've wanted to read and even one I was in the middle of, but I felt impressed to read this one now. It was my "next right thing to do," as Glennon says. The whole story is good, and her writing, as usual, is beautiful and insightful, but the most impactful chapters for me were the ones near the end that contained her epiphanies. They had me choking back tears the whole time. Her spiritual epiphanies were exactly the answers that I have been seeking and that have actually already been delivered to me in various ways as I try to internalize them. She is another angel in my path.
She has fought and worked hard for the clarity she now has - the "Love Warrior" title is perfect. She has turned, again and again to her deepest and truest source for direction, and has taught me how to do that better as well. Glennon is one of those women on my short list of people I'd love to be best friends and have long talks with. This book is the next best thing.
