While I won't be saying how this book best served me personally, I can say that this is an interesting guide for women to better understand the effect libido can have on one's overall health. In addition to some basic suggestions for a healthy lifestyle in terms of diet, physical exercise and stress reduction, the author, an OB/GYN and medical researcher, also provides information about the roles that self-esteem, medications, health conditions, and communication all play in a woman's level of sex drive. I can also say that I really appreciated the sections on the differences in male and female brains and their effects on a couple's relationship, in the bedroom and out. (Affirmation is a wonderful thing.)
