Surviving Male Menopause: A Guide for Women and Men

I first read Jed Diamond in "The Irritable Male Syndrome" and went on to find this book he had also written. I can honestly say unless I had read the information in these books I wouldn't have been able to have had the stamina to survive the trauma of all the changable emotional tides my husband has experienced in the last few years. I am so glad that Jed has captured these life changes on paper so that we can all see that it is something that is not imagined and that others are also going through this troubling time which affects both partners so dramatically. It definitely was heaven sent for me to have this information and to find such support from it.

I had gone through 6-8 books about this change of life that men have reported to experience and that I was struggling with. This book spoke to me after the first 20 pages....finally, someone had written and was describing what I was feeling. Unlike some men, I enjoy my career and I am not cheating on my wife. But, something had changed and I was left quite confused. After reading this book, I got checked and found my testosterone level was low. Supplementation with testosterone had significantly improved my energy and I feel the best I have felt in several years.This book describes well my experiences with the male menopause. While it is lacking regarding what to do once you recognize it, it is a great start. There is not much in the medical literature regarding this phenomenon; therefore, I cannot fault Mr. Diamond regarding this deficiency.Well worth the money...I am trying to get my wife to read it!

I finished Surviving Male Menopause yesterday and gave it to my husband last night with many personal notes in margins and a letter from my heart....we talked briefly and I asked him to find at least 20 minutes a day to start...to be open minded and to let me know what he thinks and feels as he "reads" it, not just "skims" it....that we have been too good for too long to let misunderstandings of biological, psychological and social factors trip us up. I believe this book can help save our marriage

If you have a 40 year old man in your life read this book and Male Menopause. It will help you to understand what men are going through. Great Book!
