The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine

4.0

I thought this book was overall very good, and walked through the stages of a woman’s life and the reactions that hormones have on their brain. That being said, I don’t think anything in physiology/hormones is completely black and white. Depending on if you add more or less flour to cookies, they look and taste differently. I imagine it’d be similar if your ratio of progesterone to estrogen is different than your neighbor’s. There is also no accounting for personality differences, or birth order, or cultural differences. Because of this, I think this book is more like a post operative physical therapy surgical protocol - generally accurate, with some wiggle room and ability to adjust dependent on patient personalities/outcomes.
