Awesome playbook that ALL juicy goddesses must read!

I am LOVING this book! Not only does Dr. Northrup rock as a doc, but she also is living a delicious life of pleasure as a woman!

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!

Seeking pleasure and found it

This book has my vote as a must read for woman of ANY age as it sets them up for a juicy post 50-something life and debunks old ways of thinking about the second half of life. Dr. Northrup skillfully blends her depth of medical knowledge with her vision of creating ways to access a life of pleasure-filled sexuality. If you want to stay stuck in old dried up ways of thinking about a glorious part of life, then you won't enjoy it. If you seek pleasure, you will love this book.

Very interesting; simple yet powerful!

I found this book a great change from Dr. Northrup's other books, which I have read over and over again. It took me reading this one twice to see its magnificence. It combines ancient simple philosophy with modern science to transform our bodies at the deepest level via our chemistry and biology all done through positive thinking! Dr. Nothrup teamed up with the Noble Prize winning M.D, Dr. Murad and Dr. Edward A. Taub, using their biological theory of the free radical gas in our bodies called Nitric Oxide and how it can transform us on an upward cycle by focusing on pleasure and positive life force energy to create more and more nitric oxide. This is a very healthy free radical just as there is good and bad cholesterol. I found this simple yet profound book exactly what I needed to here. We all do tend to favor negative energy and compete for who has it the hardest, which is destroying our health by depleting our nitric oxide levels. By focusing on the positive and learning to love and accept ourselves we can transform our lives with an abundance of powerful good feelings, joy and hope. It's a new approach to the power of positive thinking with science by Medical Doctors, who won a Nobel Prize for their efforts, to back it up! I feel very empowered to acheive optimal health through these new theories. I already eat with nutritional excellent from the book, "Eat To Live" by Joel Furham, M.D. and I am at my ideal weight. I exericise a lot and take many suppilmental vitamins and yet I have high blood pressure and suffer from anxiety. Just after reading this book and finding faith in it's words, I feel so much better and I even got my sex-drive back! This is a short easy book to read and I highly recommend it to everyone, not just women.

Not Just for Menopausal Women

The book is full of self help tips that are actually beneficial to women of all age groups. Honestly, I wish I would have read this book ten years ago. "The Secret Pleasures of Menopause" is rich with advice that helps women embrace their femininity from a mind/body/spirit perspective. The book is well rounded, full of positive affirmations, provides a vast array of diet and lifestyle tips, and explains how to optimize your body's own production of nitric oxide, a biochemical made infamous by the Viagra industry.
