After reading a couple of online articles about menopause that had the general tone of “if only I’d known beforehand,” I figured that since I’m currently in the beforehand period of life, I’d better educate myself. I don’t think I could have picked a better book. Corinna’s work is extremely educational along with being extremely understanding; she encourages people to take care of themselves while also sympathetically telling them what kinds of things to expect. Symptoms as well as physiological root causes are explored in a very down-to-earth, straightforward tone. I loved the inclusive tone of the book; Corinna constantly makes sure to acknowledge the existence of gender diversity as well as people who may abruptly entered menopause through medical procedures, which underlines the fact that menopause is experienced differently for every person. Really great resource.
