MOTHER-DAUGHTER WISDOM: Creating A Legacy Of Physical & Emotional Health

With such groundbreaking bestsellers as WomenÆs Bodies, WomenÆs Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of todayÆs most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to womenÆs 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 relationshipsùwith food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselvesùis 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 ôfive facets of feminine power,ö which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any womanùwhether or not she has childrenùûto 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.
