A provocative and intimate portrayal of a 94-year-old woman,
Camilla, that challenges readers to live genuinely. Warm
characters-her gentlemanly dance partner, her snappy teenaged great
granddaughter who shares with Camilla a burdensome but essential
gifting, and her mutually mischievous neighbor and best friend from
childhood-add meaning to her life. A thoughtful person, she
struggles to find a death that matches her life, but Life surprises
her. A book about an undeniable romance, an enduring friendship,
and following one's dreams, it leads the reader to see aging
differently and how achingly beautiful life really is.
From hormones to brain structure, women and men differ. The author
explains how testosterone, lesser empathy, and being a "Systemizer"
affect men in romances. A psychologist, Dr. Foster uses both
composite stories from her practice and fascinating research
findings to illustrate The Naked Truth About Men. Many women suffer
silently in romances and women initiate two thirds of divorces. The
book gives voice to why this is true and what you can do about it.
One chapter is devoted to what a woman can actually and
specifically expect from a man. This includes understanding his
main source of connection, how he communicates for different
reasons than she does, why conflict is threatening to him but not
her, and how his personal growth will look different than hers.
Finding a life partner is getting harder for women and the author
tells why. Finally, Dr. Foster speaks of the emerging woman: how
she'll restore balance to the work world, find fulfillment in
friendships, is headed toward overcoming an aversion to risk
taking, and will restore joyous sex. Women aren't done rustling the
social order yet. As they come to terms with the truth about men
and the dilemma female-male relationships pose, they are breaking
away from former mores to find something new. This sea change will
strike at the soul of romance and how females and males couple.
Having female hormones and brain structure is about more than the
capacity to supply breast milk. It's about values: tolerance,
relationship closeness, being genuine, seeing the big picture, and
nurturing everything from Planet Earth to a new style of
politicking. The rise of the feminine will bring the values we need
now. Men, by and large, did not fair well in the evolutionary
machine, as they cut off from their relational and emotional selves
through centuries of killing animals, the silent stocking of prey,
and combat. But when a woman is asked to make a man her primary
source of love, affection, and emotional intimacy, she has to
figure out what to do. Never before have women been positioned to
so radically change the world. It all begins with women's shifting
their expectations of romance. What Women Want is the companion
book especially for men and When Your Relationship Changes is the
follow up to The Naked Truth About Men.
