Dr. Christiane Northrup Mother-Daughter Wisdom Book

Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health

by Dr. Christiane Northrup

Mother-Daughter Wisdom discusses the bonds, passed from generation to generation, that shape our physical, mental, and spiritual well being. The book introduces an entirely new map of female development, built around the powerful metaphor of life as a house with many rooms. You start in the foundation, moving from one room to another every seven years or so. It's also organized around the “Five Facets of Feminine Power," which are revisited at each age and stage of development. They include: Female Biology, Relationships and Bonding, Self-Care, Adaptability and Resourcefulness, Passion and Purpose. Written with warmth and remarkable insight, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is a book that will change lives and become essential reading for all women. It’s for every woman who's had a mother—whether or not she has children of her own, and even if her house is filled with boys.
