women must have...
All my questions on Menopause have been answered. This book is a must have, it has really enlighten me on so many female issues.
Thank you.
Excellent way to face mentalpause
It is a glorious time to be a woman coming into her own and Christina Northrup is showing us the way with this great new book. Excellent references and big wake up call to be the beautiful sexy spontaneous powerful feminine we have waited for our whole life. Bravo!
Disappointing...
I wanted to like this book, I really did. But I found it lacking in many ways. There just wasn't a lot of good information that I didn't already know, and in some sections it just wasn't clear. I didn't come away from it with a feeling that I had learned much that was new or exciting. I know this isn't what I expected, because the book is advertised as a "breakthrough" but it certainly was not a breakthrough for me. I thought the author was just re-hashing old information from her previous books which were more informative than this one. I'm sorry to say, but I just wouldn't waste your time or money on this book. Overall, I just feel that she didn't put a lot into this book and it is disappointing. Normally I don't write negative reviews, but I have to agree with some of the other writers who say that this book is a letdown.
Not just for women in Menopause
The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is different from Dr. Northrup's last three manifestos: Wisdom of Menopause, Women's Bodies and Mother-Daughter Wisdom....which, by the way, are all great reference books for women. This new book weighs in at just 166 pages but is packed with a plethora of information for women of all ages. In a nut shell, this book is a prescription for expressing positive sexuality during menopause...thus the title The Secret Pleasures of Menopause. I admire Dr. Northrup for laying out a direct "plan of action" for self-cultivation. As a woman in perimenopause I found the book uplifting and relevant and quite frankly even younger women could learn a thing or two from this book. Great read!
Don't waste your money...
This book is awful. It is a long-drawn out yawner filled with new age crappola. If I'd wanted to find my chakra, I would have bought a different kind of book, not this one with its misleading title. This book is an insult to menopausal women who have legitimate medical questions about the topic and for whom there are no answers whatsoever in this book. In giving it a one-star rating, I'm being generous.
