The New Feminine Brain: Developing Your Intuitive Genius

Mona Lisa Schulz has completely and entirely figured out why so many of us are depressed, anxious and suffer from panic attacks. She truly is a genius. She has taken mountains of information, boiled it down, condensed it and has presented to us the whys and hows of each of our different and uniqe forms of depression, ADD, ADHD, anxiety and panic. If you want to know why you act the way you do, and you want to do something about it, you have to read this book. Then you have to share it with a friend. Lisa Harmon, Fellsmere, FL

I am a perimenopausal woman. I did not even know how much anxiety I was suffering from until I read The Feminine Brain. Mona Lisa Schulz clearly, concisely, and with amazing medical clarity helps you understand yourself and the medical issues you are having, gives you greater unsights about others, and a much broader understanding of the human brain. If it seems like it might be too "heady" of a read, it is not. I could not put the book down I was so fascinated by the information.

Mona Lisa Schulz, MD and PhD, is an amazing intuitive who has synthesized the physical, emotional and neurological aspects of women to describe "how they work." She has given us the power to understand our bodies in order to create a more balanced, enjoyable life. Her examples are brilliant. Her synthesis is cutting edge. A must-read for all!!!

Women and men have needed this book for a long time. Bravo to Mona Lisa Schulz, M.D. Ph.D., for writing it! The New Feminine Brain: How Women Can Develop Their Inner Strengths, Genius and Intuition, is actually a layman's course in neuropsychiatry in that it offers up the science that supports a full understanding of the feminine brain. Women have always known that they are born multi-taskers, that they have a sixth sense and a great sensitivity. Through Schulz's findings we discover why: women have more connections between their hormonally sensitive right and left brains. This is their greatest asset and alas, can be their greatest downfall, leaving them vulnerable to illness and stress. Without the care that comes through nutritional needs, mental exercises and an expanded understanding, many women are allowing their brains to adapt to survive in a male-dominated world. And with that adaptation, there is less creativity, physical well-being and joy. I loved this book. It's got it all: vitally important insight, solid clinical information, multiple strategies, and did I mention the humour? Schulz is hilarious in tone and sensitivity. If you appreciate the candor of Dr. Christianne Northrup's, The Wisdom of the Body, then you'll appreciate her dear friend Mona Lisa Schulz. You don't have to be female to read and value this optimistic book. It can change the way women and men think.

Okay, I'm a guy, and I have to admit, a book about the "new" feminine brain would not be at the top of my reading list. But my girlfriend saw the author appear on CBS this morning and dashes out and gets the book. And unsuspecting fellow that I am, I pick it up in an idle moment when I get home this evening and think to myself, "Maybe this will help me understand the way my girlfriend thinks." And it did! I have a whole newfound insight into and appreciation of the way my girlfriend thinks. Too often relationship books fall into glib clichés about the way men and women have different "communication styles" but from what Ms. Schulz shows is that it goes a whole lot deeper than that. And she backs up everything she says with super-clear explanations of the science behind it all. There are lots of fun tests that readers can use to see for themselves how their brains work, and even nutritional advice for improving everything from your intelligence to your mood. Way cool. Now I wish Mona Lisa Schulz would write a book for the way guys' brains work (okay, okay, I can hear my girlfriend snickering at the very notion).
