Giveaway: Unleash the Power of the Female Brain

I recently had the chance to read Unleash the Power of the Female Brain: Supercharging Yours for Better Health, Energy, Mood, Focus, and Sex, which, interestingly enough, was written by a man. In a way that's good - instead of getting defensive or overly proud of the unique characteristics of the female brain, he's able to write from a more clinical aspect.

It was a very interesting book. The writing is scientifically based - he's a neuropsychiatrist - but it's simple to read. There are a lot of little nuggets of information. Some aren't surprising to me - the impact of injuries, diet, exercise, and sleep on the brain - and some are (such as the brain benefits of sexual activity). One often-overlooked factor that he spends a whole chapter on is ADD in women, which isn't an issue people often talk about. Each chapter ends with practical exercises - ones that fit the topic and aren't cheesy - to help you put into practice right away some of the nuggets from the chapter.

I have the opportunity to give one US reader a copy of the book. To enter, leave a comment with one way you keep your brain healthy. Deadline is March 10th.
