Mother-Daughter Wisdom

Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health

By: Christiane Northrup M.D.

Narrated by: Christiane Northrup M.D.

With such groundbreaking bestsellers as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of today’s most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to women’s health. . . .

The mother-daughter relationship sets the stage for our state of health and well-being for our entire lives. Because our mothers are our first and most powerful female role models, our most deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves as women come from them. And our behavior in relationships—with food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselves—is a reflection of those beliefs. Once we understand our mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and create a lasting positive legacy for the next generation.

Mother-Daughter Wisdom introduces an entirely new map of female development, exploring the “five facets of feminine power,” which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any woman—whether or not she has children—–to repair the gaps in her own upbringing and create a better adult relationship with her mother. If she has her own daughter, it will help her be the mother she has always wanted to be.

Drawing on patient case histories and personal experiences, Dr. Northrup also presents findings at the cutting edge of medicine and psychology. Discover:

•How to lay the nutritional foundation to prevent eating disorders and adult diseases
•The truth about the immunization controversy–and the true meaning of immunity
•How we can change our genetic health legacy
•Why financial literacy is essential to women’s health
•How to foster healthy sexuality and future “love maps” in our daughters
•How to balance independence with caring, and individual growth with family ties

Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and rare intelligence, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is an indispensable book destined to change lives and become essential reading for all women.©2005 Christiane Northrup, M.D.; (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.

Excelente

Un excelente libro, más allá de un libro de autoayuda, me pareció interesante y con evidencia, muy bien escrito, con ejemplos claros.

Complexities of the female & it's legacy.

The book was a bit difficult to get into; as I first found it to be too complex and detailed to follow audibly. I stayed with the book and heard the author as to say that as mothers, we do our responsible duties, but not to beat ourselves up for the failures of our own legacies. We can only control ourselves, so let us live and let live.

Wish I had read this book 30 years ago.

Even thou my daughters are grown up now, I found this book wit such a fountain of wisdom and powerful information. I can't recommend it enough to every young mother to read it. Love listening the soft yet confident voice of Dr Northrup, listen to the audiobook 3 times, she is a true pioneer in women's health! I also have a hard copy of the book as a reference.
Thanks for such a powerful book!!!

Every day learning for every day women.

Would you listen to Mother-Daughter Wisdom again? Why?

My sister inlay bought me the hard copy 6 years ago when my daughter was born and I just never got around to reading it. I was glad to have found it here on Audible and have now finally been able to absorb it's wonderful content.

another great book by Dr. Northrup

Dr. Northrup has become one of my favorite authors of this genre of books. She's incredibly intelligent & experienced, having much information & wisdom to offer. She manages to pack in a lot of content while keeping her books relatively light & easy to read. This particular book is one doctor's perspective about child rearing, specifically as the title states, between Mom & daughter. She's a modern and soulful doctor with tons of experience in the field of birthing and raising children herself, so she has a lot to share. I'm a big fan of her other two books " goddeses never age" and "making life easy". The later I only got because I liked the prior so much & I love her in interviews. It didn't disappoint! Bottom line, if you're interested, it's worth the listen
