The Mating Brain: Love and Lust

 

Both books, The Female Brain and The Male Brain are such great reads, especially for couples in relationships! Each book helps to explain the different wants/needs of men & women in a rational, unbiased manner. I've learned so much through your books, I've used them countless times in papers & I'm always referencing back to different chapters.

 

Thank you so much for writing these books!

Good to meet you Louann. I can see I'm going to enjoy reading your books!

warm regards, Carolyn

I absolutely love the color theme and think it is cool these colors are the same as The Female Brain book!  There is so much information on here I can see how fans could easily lose track of time.  You have some pretty fabulous pictures in there and a great layout for this website.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!  Love you

Oh, I love school snow days, gives me time to be here instead of discussing dead white guys, LOL!

Hmm, what to add to this site? How about visuals? In one of your presentations, you mentioned a concern about people being intimidated by the word "brain" in the title ... I have to say, those slides depicting the chocolate center, etc. are very accessible! Also, what made me march"The Female Brain" to the bookstore cashier was the table at the beginning of the book that charted a woman's lifespan (perhaps that is giving away too much info, though?) Something interactive: flashcards, a what do you think you know quiz...links to related works?

Yes, a board game is even better!

Thank you for welcoming me Louann.  I've purchased the two books both electronically and in hardcopy so I can lend them to my friends and other interested bodies when necessary. I have a 12yr girl (who is driving me BONKERS) and a 14yr boy (my beautiful angel); these books will be invaluable to my understanding of them both. Am half way through The Female Brain, can't wait to finish the other one too.  Kaylene

Hi Louann,

I think the site is brilliantly interactive, very easy to use, upbeat and physically appealing. I feel that these books are a great gift for all of us as they lead us to better understanding of ourselves and others. I love the video clips and blog.

Love, Mary

Hi Louann...Thanks for your gift and warm welcome. So the first of many questions related to reading your wonderful books: In TMB you detail genetic elements related to the long and short versions of the vasopressin receptor genes as indicators of male proclivity toward monogamy or non-monogamy. In addition to what you discuss in TFB ("The Biology of Female Infidelity'), are there any elements in the female genetic structure that are akin to these indicators in the male genetic structure? Thanks!

Thanks Louann!  Happy to be on here

Loved The Male Brain, too. The info in The Female Brain was revolutionary, though. As the French say, vive la différence!

Thank you for the note...I can't wait to read both books.They will be SO helpful not only in close relationships, but also in relating to people I assist in business.

I've just arrived in Singapore this morning. It was a long flight back home. I shared the books with my colleagues and we are having interesting conversations about them! By the way, you did mention about leaving my contact details. I'm a counsellor/psychotherapist in SIngapore and I work with individuals and couples, experiential approach. If you have clients you'd like to refer to me, please ask them to email me at mic_koay@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Hi Louann,

I also loved The Male Brain and I must admit you got it perfect when describing things a man goes through in his life. I highly recommend both books to my friends to help with the understanding of the real differences between men and women. I know both books have helped me immensely!

Hi Louann! I'm sure I willl. Love your books and are using them as references in my book about stepfamilies.

Thanks, Louann, for your warm welcome. I don't know how often I'll have a chance to particpate, but it's nice to be connected with what you are doing.
