Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Men and Women Are Different: True or False?
Are men and women really different? Do they really process information differently? If so, can we conclude that we have sex-specific areas of excellence in problem solving? These questions are where this book must, of necessity, begin.

Chapter 1: True or False: The brain has a sex at birth.
True. Our sex is fixed and immutable-and not just at birth, but from the very moment of conception. That sex has implications for all the systems in our bodies, including our brains. But in a sense, this is a trick question, because while we are

Book Description

Men and women ARE different and this book from the founder of gender medicine uncovers the neuroscientific reasons behind age-old disputes between men and women, while providing a groundbreaking, authoritative, and reader-friendly guide to resolving these differences.

Why won't he ask for directions? Why does she always want to talk about the relationship? Why can't he see that something is bothering her?* But perhaps the biggest questions Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget resolves are: Why is it so hard for men and women to understand each other - and what can we do about it?

According to Dr. Marianne Legato, an internationally recognized expert in gender-specific medicine, male and female brains are chemically and structurally different. And scientists are now finding out how these differences cause us to approach problems and experience the world in such dissimilar ways.

So how do we bridge this physiological gap? Dr. Legato provides strategies and tips for learning to "think" like the other sex in order to get past our differences - and offers smart advice for dealing with issues wherever they arise. This trailblazing book will enable readers to understand each other - in both personal and professional relationships - like never before.

* The answers: testosterone, oxytocin, and men don't read facial expressions or interpret visual cues as well as women.
