Just what makes a guy tick? And roar, and lust and compete, and care? While biology may not be destiny, brain architecture and hormonal chemistry play a defining role in behavior, a larger and more humbling one than most of us might be comfortable considering. After the best-selling success of The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine turns her attention to the male brain. In accessible language, with examples from her patients and personal anecdotes, she explains the mighty effect of hormones on men--from fetal development, through boyhood and the teenage years, into adulthood and on to maturity. No question: for most men their brain is predisposed towards fast problem solving, less so towards ascertaining emotional subtlety, primed to recognize and assert hierarchy, and no surprise, fueled to seek sex. But although the book is narrated via engaging stories and lay explanations that will resonate, sometimes humorously, with the daily male experience, this is most definitely a book of science. The more than 100 pages of research notes at the back of the book from the latest in neuropsychology substantiate conclusively that “through every phase of life, the unique brain structures and hormones of boys and men create a male reality that is fundamentally different form the female one.” This is a must read for both men and the women in their lives.
