by Jed Diamond (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In his earlier book Male Menopause, Jed Diamond exposed the worldwide reality that the often-joked-about phenomenon of "male menopause" is indeed a medical, psychological and emotional fact of life for millions of men. Diamond's new book offers guidance to and tells the stories of those perhaps as affected by male menopause as men--women.

Surviving Male Menopause examines the most current medical happenings, then focuses more strongly on the emotional, personal side of this life passage. Its effect on relationships and on the individuals involved is unmistakable. Through the recently rising voices of the men and women experiencing this change, Diamond seeks to show women and men how they can emerge on the other side happy, healthy and fulfilled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Save your marriage, read this book, November 27, 2000

By	Jed Diamond "The Men's Maven" (Willits, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I finished Surviving Male Menopause yesterday and gave it to my husband last night with many personal notes in margins and a letter from my heart....we talked briefly and I asked him to find at least 20 minutes a day to start...to be open minded and to let me know what he thinks and feels as he "reads" it, not just "skims" it....that we have been too good for too long to let misunderstandings of biological, psychological and social factors trip us up. I believe this book can help save our marriage

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that finally pulled together what I was feeling..., June 26, 2001

By	Jeff Hoffman (Concord, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had gone through 6-8 books about this change of life that men have reported to experience and that I was struggling with. This book spoke to me after the first 20 pages....finally, someone had written and was describing what I was feeling. Unlike some men, I enjoy my career and I am not cheating on my wife. But, something had changed and I was left quite confused. After reading this book, I got checked and found my testosterone level was low. Supplementation with testosterone had significantly improved my energy and I feel the best I have felt in several years.

This book describes well my experiences with the male menopause. While it is lacking regarding what to do once you recognize it, it is a great start. There is not much in the medical literature regarding this phenomenon; therefore, I cannot fault Mr. Diamond regarding this deficiency.

Well worth the money...I am trying to get my wife to read it!
