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
Review
"Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz has written a wise guidebook for women on how to thrive in a complex world filled with bewildering challenges and multiple roles. Women who do not understand the information in this book will be severely disadvantaged. Men, listen up. You need this wisdom, too."
-- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words
"At last, someone with medical expertise and wisdom has laid down the genius of feminine power. This book has bridged the body and mind with such exquisite clarity that it reads like poetry. It is the first to give a medical explanation for the special power of women's minds. Most important, women can understand how to enlist their full capacities and unique contributions."
-- Frank Lawlis, Ph.D., author of The ADD Answer
"If you're fortunate, you'll cross the path of an authentic teacher once or twice in a lifetime. Dr. Schulz is that kind of teacher and is a woman who has found her unique genius and intuition. Furthermore, she's hilariously funny, with the rare ability to take complex material and make it seem perfectly simple. Her insights on the brain are brilliant. Her insights on life are remarkable. This is a book that every woman should read -- a must for our times."
-- Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind and Inner Peace for Busy Women
"Mona Lisa Schulz applies her unique, intuitive genius to bring us the science underpinning the Feminine. This is a must-read for anyone who seeks balance or hopes to guide others to discover it."
-- Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and Discover Your Genius
