Product Description:
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.

Amazon.com Review:
It's a rare book that delivers so completely on such a broad promise. Mother-Daughter Wisdom is written to connect the dots between a number of separate parts: logical and emotional morality, physical and mental health, friends and family, and in an overarching sense, the relationship between being a woman's daughter and raising a daughter of your own.

Because of the scope of information presented, it can be tricky to pick up the book and look for quick guidance on a particular topic such as adolescent weight issues or childhood asthma; more use, and more pleasure, will be found if you add it to your permanent reference shelf to look through in stages. Author Dr. Christiane Northup (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom) seamlessly blends personal stories with clear research in a way that creates a compelling read from start to finish, even if the specific topic isn't necessarily one that concerns you. Information is a welcome mix of old school medical advice and new school nutrition and stress relief. In Northup's world, whole foods and loving communication can play just as important roles as antibiotics.

The book is categorized somewhat loosely by age, beginning with pregnancy and labor, and continuing through infancy, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Each section is quite specifically tuned to relating to daughters: Mothers of sons will get some use out of sections on breastfeeding, vaccinations and the like, but emotional concerns and physical recommendations are tailor-made for women and girls, right down to the resource guide that ends the book. By itself, that resource guide is an excellent starting point for further reading, both online and in print. When added to the whole, it is just one more reason you'll reach for the book on a regular basis. Jill Lightner

- Good Book but...
This is an important book for every Mother and Daughter.
The only thing wrong is I find Christiane Northrup's books are not organized very well. It can be very frustrating if you are trying to read about something specific.
I have enjoyed watching/listening to her speak on "Oprah" a lot more than reading her books.

- Start your healing with your Mom now
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 ... Read More

- Too many pages, too much nonsense
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.

- every woman can find understanding with this book
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!!
