The Male Brain
From the
author of the groundbreaking New
York Times bestseller The Female
Brain, is the eagerly awaited
powerful book that demystifies the
puzzling male brain.
Join Dr.
Louann Brizendine as she turns her
attention to the male brain, showing
how, through every phase of
life, the ³male reality² is
fundamentally different from the
female one. Exploring the latest
breakthroughs in male psychology and
neurology with her trademark
accessibility and candor, she
reveals that the male brain:
-
is a lean, mean,
problem-solving machine. Faced with
a personal problem, a man will use
his analytical brain structures, not
his emotional ones, to find a
solution.
-
thrives under
competition, instinctively plays
rough and is obsessed with rank and
hierarchy.
-
has an area for
sexual pursuit that is 2.5 times
larger than the female brain,
consuming him with sexual fantasies
about
female body parts.
-
experiences such a
massive increase in testosterone at
puberty that he perceive others'
faces to be more aggressive.
The Male Brain finally
overturns the stereotypes. Impeccably
researched and at the cutting edge of
scientific knowledge, this is a book
that every man, and especially every
woman bedeviled by a man, will need to
own.
