Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Men and women really are different—even their brains are different—and they were divinely designed that way. Using the latest research, Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore show how the God-designed differences between the male brain and the female brain complement each other to help couples build a delightful, lasting marriage.


From the Back Cover

She reads people, and he reads manuals He doesn’t ask for directions, and she doesn’t appreciate his advice She is so mysterious, and he is so practical He does not seem to listen, and she seems so emotional The list goes on and on … In a world where men and women are constantly told they are not different, His Brain, Her Brain shows couples what they instinctively know—men and women are different, and these divinely designed differences, when understood, make a marriage stronger and happier. Combining the latest brain research along with their experiences in over three decades of marriage and counseling, Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore explain how the unique design of each sex, particularly the unique brain and hormones of each, results in different habits, tendencies, and nuances of thought and action.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this book!, January 13, 2008
You will be very surprised at what you find inside the pages of this outstanding book, His Brain, Her Brain. Dr. Walt Larimore, and his wife Barbara take you on a journey inside the brain, both male and female, and you will be amazed at what they have found. Very interesting!
We have all heard that men and women are different, and of course we all would say a big," Amen!" to that. But do you know that it is scientifically so? In this work you will understand the why's that make us so different, yet merge us so well together. You will marvel at the wonder of the brain as it functions, in both male and female, for the role they are to take. In understanding this, many problems can be resolved, and you will learn these differences can be used to build a stronger relationship with one another.
His Brain, Her Brain is not written in a text book form, but is crafted in such a way that you are learning the science of your brain without even realizing it. I loved the way Dr. Larimore had his wife Barbara add her comments. It gave warmth to the read, and brought the view point of both sexes in on many subjects. This is one great book that every man and woman should have. I believe it will truly make a difference in your life and your relationships. Great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Have You Been? , March 3, 2008
By Molly Meltzer (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All I can say to Walt and Barb is WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? This wonderful book is for every woman who has been exasperated by a man's behavior and every man who has been mystified by his wife's (or girlfriend's)! We have been expecting each other to see, hear and feel exactly as we do. There were so many light bulb moments I was compelled to call everyone I know and say "stop yelling (sighing, crying, pouting, fighting...)and read this book!" Now you can undestand the profound and beautiful differences between a man and a woman. A remarkable and insightful, medically sound, convincingly written book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book So Much!, February 13, 2009
By heidz86 (SA, Australia) - See all my reviews
I love this book so much! As I was reading it I shared all the valuable knowledge I was learning with my husband, my mother and my sister. I never thought a book with scientific knowledge could be so interesting, but it really had me engaged! I found Walt's and Barb's observations on 'his' and 'her' brains to be so true! I laughed at some of the examples they gave as I found them to be true in my marriage too!

Not only that, but the book is so well organised and presented. I love the cover design and interior design of the book with its little light bulb graphics. I also love their use of diagrams and tables (a particularly funny diagram on page 42-43 demonstrates the differences between a man's and woman's brain). The book has a Scripture index, Subject index and Sources page - which made me love it even more...

But perhaps what I loved the most was the insights it contained inside the pages such as:
* Both science and the bible support the idea that men and women are so different.
* At 6 weeks in the womb an unborn male's brain surges with testosterone. When this process was blocked in rats - they acted like females their entire life.
* The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of body and focuses on logic, reason and speech whereas the right hemisphere controls left side of body and is the creative side of the brain.
* Testosterone is responsible for aggression and assertiveness in males. Competition can raise the level of testosterone.
* Oxytocin, often called the cuddle or bonding hormone, is released when couples cuddle.
* Women tend to have higher oxytocin levels than men.
* When a mother looks into the eyes of her baby, her oxytocin levels soar much higher than a man's, and this rush is extremely pleasurable to her.
* Women can see more colours than men.
* Women feel more pain and have less tolerance to it than men.
* A women's sense of smell and taste are stronger than a man's.
* Only 10 percent of women have spatial abilities that are as good as the average male (such as the ability to read maps).
* Researchers studied men and women who were "truly, deeply in love" with each other. They scanned their brains when looking at pictures of their loved one and of other strangers. Their brains lit up in the same areas that cause the euphoria of narcotic addictions when they saw their partner's pictures.
* Women who are childless or lose a child have levels of depression comparable to those with AIDs and Cancer.

And many more interesting facts inside!

I highly recommend this book. You will begin to understand your partner on a whole new level. You will realise that many of your complaints such as your husband not listening, your wife nagging you for a cuddle... have perfectly biological explanations! Well done Walt and Barb Larimore.
