With such groundbreaking bestsellers as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of today’s most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to women’s health. . . .
The mother-daughter relationship sets the stage for our state of health and well-being for our entire lives. Because our mothers are our first and most powerful female role models, our most deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves as women come from them. And our behavior in relationships—with food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselves—is a reflection of those beliefs. Once we understand our mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and create a lasting positive legacy for the next generation.
Mother-Daughter Wisdom introduces an entirely new map of female development, exploring the “five facets of feminine power,” which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any woman—whether or not she has children—–to repair the gaps in her own upbringing and create a better adult relationship with her mother. If she has her own daughter, it will help her be the mother she has always wanted to be.
Drawing on patient case histories and personal experiences, Dr. Northrup also presents findings at the cutting edge of medicine and psychology. Discover:
•How to lay the nutritional foundation to prevent eating disorders and adult diseases
•The truth about the immunization controversy–and the true meaning of immunity
•How we can change our genetic health legacy
•Why financial literacy is essential to women’s health
•How to foster healthy sexuality and future “love maps” in our daughters
•How to balance independence with caring, and individual growth with family ties
Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and rare intelligence, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is an indispensable book destined to change lives and become essential reading for all women.
From the Hardcover edition.

Summary: I'm a big fan of Ms. Northrup's work
Comment: I love the Tribal Programming thing in the other one.
I exaggerate not, every mother on the planet should own two of these books. She is such a genuinely delightful lady and quite obviouly very talented and wise. This book is simply priceless for a mother and daughter, and if you have more than one daughter, I'd say that this book is essential.

Summary: Start your healing with your Mom now
Comment: This is a rich, generous, heavy book so I am only half-way through and I'm sure I read 400 pgs. Yet Dr. Northrup divides the chapters so meaningfully it flies by. I am underlining all the way (one of my signs it's a keeper book). She is teaching me things about birth and health that I have not heard before and I am a voracious reader on the subject. Some of it is too scientific for me but that's ok -- she's a good, conversational writer. The deepest gift she gives is our opportunity to understand our birth through our mother, what our mother might have gone through and what we went through as innocent new beings. I have already called Mom and told her "Hey, mom you did this and that right! You were a great mother." I recommend any of her work(I have one of her other books and have heard her speak on public television numerous times -- great speaker). This is a book about forgiveness. If you can understand the delicate process of bringing in a child, and the relationship between a mother and daughter, you can begin to search for healing no matter what kind of relationship you had with your mother.

Summary: Too many pages, too much nonsense
Comment: Blah Blah BLah.
I saw this woman speak on PBS. She was very interesting. rushed to get the book.
Man what a lot of Blah Blah Blah. This book is huge with too many stories. Do i have enough time to devote to this book? NO
Would love a condensed version.
Do you have no life and enough time to listen to her babble, get the book then. Otherwise i would advise just watching a video.

Summary: every woman can find understanding with this book
Comment: Every woman will be able to find some understanding in this book, whether it be with their own mother or their daughters. The heart,mind and body are all addressed here and I have actually referred back to it as a reference book for different stages of development. I felt so strongly about it that I have given many as gifts and also donated one to my Library.Dr. Northrup delivers with this one!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Redundant and self-absorbed
Comment: The ideas were interesting but guilt-invoking. On the positive, the diet tips for omega-3s etc. to treat mild depression was helpful. However, I quit reading it about half way through once I realized everything I do is wrong: from giving my toddlers juice to allowing them to watch TV. I have heard all of this before and sometimes it simply is not practical to do everything perfectly. It is okay if your kids have a little sugar now and then and it's okay if they drive you crazy...it's even okay if you tell them they drive you crazy sometimes.
Lathrup takes the mommy guilt a step further by telling you that you are not only ruining your kids, but also the legacy of every future generation. I don't need to purchase a book to be told I am not perfect. And, just like every other parenting book, the author probably was not stuck at home dealing with the day-to-day mundane challenges of motherhood considering she is writing books and practicing medicine. I'm sure she left explicit instructions for her nanny.
