Self-care, self-love, and the like are certainly important to live a fulfilled life. But ultimately this frothy, oh-so-pink book is superficial. It would seem that all you need to live your best life is a pocket full of wishes and lots of orgasms. I'm also bothered by the note that many of the (mostly success) stories are compilations. It makes many of them ring false. The book also sadly feels dated. At this point it's nearly a decade and a half old. It belongs in the era of Sex and City. I'm bothered by comparing a flirting woman to a poodle in heat, by the idea that we need to "train" our men. Also, the complete lack of even a mention of LGBTQ women. There's also an entire chapter warning about your man leaving you if you can't control your bitch. Every woman should own this book. Then that same woman should read it. And after she reads it, she should do what Mama says. If a woman figures out what she wants, asks for what she wants, and shows others how to help her get what she wants, then only joy and pleasure will result. Written in an amusing, delightful, whimsical style, this little volume can only serve to enhance women's (and men's) lives--if we do what Mama says! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The book that shows women how celebrating their sensuality can help them achieve their dreams--"think of it as The Power of Positive Thinking as interpreted by Anais Nin" (The New York Times). Relationship expert Regena Thomashauer teaches the lost "womanly arts" of identifying your desires, having fun no matter where you are, knowing sensual pleasure, befriending your inner bitch, flirting (in a way that makes your day, not just his), and more--because making pleasure your priority can actually help you reach your goals. So if you need a refresher course in fun--and you know you do--come to Mama. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I don't feel that way now.
Reading this book has helped me make a major transition out of three years of grief (after my beloved's death) into a normal life again.
Mama Gena's message is that pleasure and delight are not luxuries, harmful indulgences, or frivolous -- they are necessary to our emotional well-being. It's only when we feel satisfied and happy with ourselves and our lives that we can give our best to the rest of the world.
Each woman will define "pleasure" a different way, and that's all right. The point is to understand what pleases you and make sure that you get what you need to feel fulfilled. A happy woman is a generous, loving, powerful woman. And she has a lot more fun.
Our culture often swings to extremes in its attitudes on pleasure and asceticism. I think Mama Gena preaches a joyful balance. ( )
