Product Description
Ever wonder why most women can handle the kids and careers and the renovation but men can concentrate on either the newspaper or a game on TV? This is because female brains have more interconnections that allow them to multi-task and split their attention. The New Feminine Brain is the first book by a medical doctor, who is also a psychiatrist and a brain expert, to show how modern life challenges are physically rewiring the brain and to address the particular challenges that women face as a result. The female brain today is not your grandmother's brain - it has even more connections and skills, but with that can come more physical problems, including an increase in attention and memory deficits and chronic mood and health conditions.The New Feminine Brain combines the insights of Dr Schulz's research and stories of clinical experience as a neuropsychiatrist treating people with tough brain disorders with unique self-help and expert health advice. Readers will discover and cultivate their special genius and intuitive style with provocative self-tests, so they can hear and heal their depression, anxiety, attention, memory, and other brain problems. 'Rewiring' exercises, herbs and nutritional supplements will improve their physical, psychological and emotional health. |
Amazon.com Review
Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz reveals the intricate science behind women's intuition in The New Feminine Brain, and shows that while ignoring one's sixth sense can devastate the body, honoring its messages can lead to greater creativity, improved physical well-being, and joy. Coming from the pen of a board certified neuropsychiatrist, neuroscientist and medical intuitive, the topic receives just as much clinical attention as it does the breathe-out-and-tune-in type. Schulz begins with a crash course in neuropsychiatry to illustrate how the female brain's innate adaptability has caused women to literally rewire their thinking for survival in today's (man's) world. Unfortunately, the body doesn't always buy what the new feminine brain is selling. The result can mean disaster to a woman's health. Pinpointing the true source of one's physical aches, infections, diseases, and psychoses requires an honest look within. Embracing her own Attention Deficit Disorder, Schulz zooms from rich discussions about gender brain wiring to quick patient stories, to questionnaires that help readers learn how their own brains are "wired for mood," "wired for fear," or wired for early senility. It's an interactive ride punctuated by dizzying lists, charts, and checklists that involve frequent page-flipping. Schulz point out that detailed descriptions of prescriptive medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements (complete with dosage recommendations and cautions regarding drug interaction), all include a caveat: simply medicating the body doesn't promise long-term physical and emotional health. Here, intuition must preside. Schulz responds with multiple strategies to help women nurture even the tiniest inner voice, and become their own best medical intuitives.--Liane Thomas |

Finally, an explanation! by S. E. Rowland (Arizona)  5 Stars
September 19, 2009
I love Dr. Mona Lisa's work and listen to her on Hay House Radio. Use her books for reference along with Dr. Christiane Northrups' books. Mine are on the shelf next to psychology, anatomy, & physiology texts, nutrition, and spiritual books. The New Feminine Brain is sourcebook about brain functioning, gender, behavior, female and male hormones, family dynamics, medication, therapy models, and so on. You get the picture. There are fascinating case studies in TNFB. This is not a book you sit down to entertain yourself with, ie it is not " a little light reading." Use the book to look up what you, or your client, or a family member's issue might be. This is a great book for women (and men) studying medicine, psychology, coaching, and intuition. And women, buy the book for your sanity! :-)

Very technical by A. Arundel  3 Stars
September 18, 2009
Although the book is rich with information, it is written in a very technical, academic way. It is not an easy read. It is certainly less about intuition than the author's first book Awakening Intuition was. This is much more medical and rather a downer to read. It makes one wonder how any woman can be healthy and happy with the hormones we've been gifted with.

Excellent book, great content, great condition. by Zeonipsa (Tokyo, Japan) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
This book is amazing. I found great explanations for many things I have had problems with or always wondered about with my own life or the things I observe in society around me wherever I go. The book is very well written and organized, with lots of examples, lots of thorough logical explanations, and plenty of intuitive information as well. I feel that I understand myself much better and that I am much more accepting of who I am and what kind of unique woman I am, based on the things I learned from this book. Having that self-confidence, it is much easier to be creative, patient, and in-tuned to the intuitive message that I receive as well, and at the same time keep up with my everyday logical world.
The only down side, if any, is that it's a pretty large book. If you're like me - always on the go, reliant on public transportation, carry all your daily items with you in a purse - it's a little bit of a let down. But there are good things about that too; it's a great way to practice being patient and still in this hectic world.

AWESOME BOOK by Kelly Brehm 5 Stars
July 08, 2009
This book is amazing! I suffer from Anxiety, and this book REALLY helped my understand why my brain works the way it does... and how it effects my body. It helped me respect my body and my mood beyond words.

a bit disappointing by sister (australia) 3 Stars
January 01, 2009
I initially enjoyed this book although the first chapter or so was not so good. But about two thirds of the way through I suddenly tired of the whole thing. I guess I found the details of brain differences between the sexes interesting, but as the book progressed I tired of the author's style of writing. Also some of her claims were a bit 'out there'. Not for me, glad I borrowed it before buying it. I'd like to give it two and a half stars really, but erred on the side of generosity.
