Book Reviews of A Woman's Book of Life: The Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Life Cycle
Book Review: Not just for women
Summary: 5 Stars
Written by the Harvard Medical School author responsible for MINDING THE BODY, MENDING THE MIND, one of the best known titles in the modern era of mind/body medicine, this book focusses that insight on women. From Borysenko's opening paragraph which turns the patriarchal interpretation of Eve's culpability and Adam's temptation on its head, thru the stages of growth (divided into twelve chapters, Ages 0-7, 7-14, etc.) to concluding thoughts about retrospection and trancendance in late years, this book is a wonderful amalgam of hard science and a hopeful spirit. Her view is transcultural, and inclusive. Borysenko is among the vanguard pushing traditional medicine to view "alternative" treatment as "complementary" instead of an either/or choice. The author's doctorate is in anatomy and cellular biology, which doubtless provides credibility to those inclined to scoff at alternative medicine. This book is worthwhile for any woman and any man with women in his life.

Summary of A Woman's Book of Life: The Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Life Cycle
Biologist and psychologist Joan Borysenko helped chart new territory in mind/body medicine at Harvard Medical School-and created a new map of that territory in one of the first bestsellers in the field. Now the author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind reveals the interconnected loop of mind, body, and spirit in women. This pioneering book will teach women how to maximize their health and well-being as well as discover the extraordinary power that comes with each stage of the feminine life cycle.Women have always known that we are cyclical creatures, strongly influenced by our daily, monthly, and yearly rhythms. Finally, we have a book that examines these natural cycles as gifts rather than weaknesses or curses. Dividing the female life span by the mystical number of seven years, Joan Borysenko reveals the biological forces that drive our physical, emotional, and spiritual development. This is a pragmatic book filled with groundbreaking medical research; it is also a book that dares to explore the link between female biology and female mystery.
