Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The ebullient "Dr. Ruth" broadens her definition of marriage to include those who "live together well, even if they are not legally tied" but are willing to commit themselves to one another sexually. She covers a lot of ground here, in less detail than most reliable sex manuals, but the difference is in the delivery. The book is transcribed from dictation in the voice of the self-proclaimed "Grandma Chickensoup," who has become familiar to millions through radio and television. She dispels popular mythology ("there are still lots of virgin honeymooners"), and she is funny ("if just completing the sex act is a challenge, don't try it on a waterbed"), techniques which are therapeutic in themselves. This book will appeal to her already wide audience and may attract others as well. Suzanne Druehl, Little Rock P.L., Ark.

While I am best known for talking about sex, and writing books like Sex For Dummies, one of my other passions is making documentaries about family life, since my doctorate is in the interdisciplinary study of the family. My most recent documentary is titled “The Olive and the Tree: The Secret Strength of the Druze.” This hour-long documentary tells the story of the Druze, Israel’s most fascinating non-Jewish religious minority. It focuses on their approach to childhood education which maintains the sect’s unique cultural and social identity, despite the lure of assimilation. There is also going to be an accompanying book being published at the end of April by the same title. The documentary is airing on PBS stations across the country in April and May. Since each station carrying the program is airing at a different time, if you’d be interested in seeing it, check my website, www.drruth.com, where there’s a list of cities and airdates, or just check your local newspaper listings.

I’m a lucky person for many reasons. (In fact I’m lucky to be alive altogether since the Nazis wanted me dead and I escaped, and while I was seriously injured in a bomb blast in Israel in 1948, I also escaped with my life while several around me didn’t.) But today I want to concentrate on one particular reason I’m so lucky, and that’s because as Dr. Ruth I’m able to maintain close contact with so many young people. I teach a seminar at both Princeton and Yale every week. A few weeks ago I spent a day at Harvard giving several lectures and I also spoke at Virginia Tech, where 2500 students showed up. Obviously young people enjoy hearing me speak, but I also get back so much from them. It’s a trade that I’m sorry to say many people my age are not able to engage in.

So my advice to you, whether young or old, is to approach the opposite age bracket. If you’re an older person, reach out to young people; offer them your help, your advice, even your money if that helps cement the relationship. If you hire a young person to come over and do some household chores, you’ll not only get your chores done, but you’ll get to spend a few hours in that person’s company. And as for all you young people out there, don’t ignore the older people around you. Learn to appreciate the fact that they need contact with younger people in their lives. And you know what? Just as the young people who come to my lectures come away with added value, so will you.

While I was in Rome last week, a friend told me that there was a wonderful exhibit on Marc Chagall. He is one of my favorite painters, if not my very favorite, and so even though I’d only just arrived, I dashed over. It was remarkable because there were paintings from private collections that I otherwise would never have seen. I thanked my friend over and over for letting me know about it.

 

            There is so much art in this world, be it painting, sculpture, music, dance, etc, that it’s impossible to absorb it all. The problem is, if all you do is skim over everything, then you never really get to understand any of it. That’s why I think it’s good to have favorites. If you have a favorite artist, in every field of art, then you can make a hobby out of learning as much about that artist’s body of work as you can. As you do that, you begin to appreciate all that this person has put into his or her art. You are able to detect the subtle nuances that separate great artists from the not so great ones. So I would advise everybody to seek out artists that you find have something special, and then dive into their body of work. In that way you’ll begin to get a real appreciation of what art can bring to your life.
