The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

My Aunt gave me her copy of this book and so far, I really have found it insightful and interesting.  I just wanted to pass this along simply because I have found this book useful.  (Not trying to make any statements here, if you get my meaning.)  If you goto her website, you can read reviews.  I did see that the book is available on amazon.com.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of fights that men can’t remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? These and other questions have stumped both sexes throughout the ages.

Now, pioneering neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, M.D., brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure of the female brain determines how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and who they love. While doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard, Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind, Brizendine established the first clinic in the country to study and treat women’s brain function.

In The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all her findings and the latest information from the scientific community in a highly accessible book that educates women about their unique brain/body/behavior.

The result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a lean, mean, communicating machine. Men will develop a serious case of brain envy.

also should have mentioned that there is a chapter dedicated to the formation of a female brain in utero and how a female baby acts. That I found very amazing!

Sounds like a really good read. I'll have to add this to my book wish list. Right now with being in baby buying mode I haven't been buying books for myself every month like I used to.
