What a helpful book! I got it for my husband but have dipped into it, myself. This book is written by a man (non-medical) who was striving to understand what his wife was going through while she went through the change. I found a great deal of understanding and sympathy in it-- even moreso, in many ways, than from books written by women about menopause. It has really helped to read that menopause doesn't mean "broken" or "deficient." Medical science has always treated menopause as a "deficiency disease." Well, it's not a disease! The author provides non-judgemental details about the types of treatment that are available for managing bothersome symptoms, but leans more towards a natural viewpoint, which I appreciate. He deals with the subject with humor.

The book appears to be out of print... I'd recommend buying a used copy before they're gone, and setting it aside until your 40's. You'll be glad you did.

This book has Steven Covey's and Susan Weed's endorsement. Mine, too.
