From the author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller
The Female Brain, here is the eagerly awaited follow-up book that
demystifies the puzzling male brain.
Dr. Louann Brizendine,
the founder of the first clinic in the country to study gender
differences in brain, behavior, and hormones, turns her attention to
the male brain, showing how, through every phase of life, the "male
reality" is fundamentally different from the female one. Exploring the
latest breakthroughs in male psychology and neurology with her
trademark accessibility and candor, she reveals that the male brain:
*is a lean, mean, problem-solving machine. Faced with a
personal problem, a man will use his analytical brain structures, not
his emotional ones, to find a solution.
*thrives under competition, instinctively plays rough and is obsessed with rank and hierarchy.
*has an area for sexual pursuit that is 2.5 times larger than
the female brain, consuming him with sexual fantasies about female body
parts.
*experiences such a massive increase in testosterone at puberty that he perceive others' faces to be more aggressive.
The Male Brain finally overturns the stereotypes. Impeccably
researched and at the cutting edge of scientific knowledge, this is a
book that every man, and especially every woman bedeviled by a man,
will need to own.
Praise for The Female Brain:
"Louann Brizendine has done a
great favor for every man who wants to understand the puzzling women in
his life. A breezy and enlightening guide to women and a must-read for
men."
