Hormonal: The Hidden Intelligence of Hormones -- How They Drive Desire, Shape Relationships, Influence Our Choices, and Make Us Wiser
Autor Martie Haselton,en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2019
Did you know women walk more, eat less, socialize more, meet more men, dance more, and flirt more when they're ovulating? Or that PMS may have evolved to get rid of boyfriends with unfit sperm? Behind the "fickle" differences in what women find sexy about men, or what they like to wear, there's a hidden adaptive intelligence that has been shaped over eons.
In this provocative and paradigm-shattering book, Martie Haselton, the world's leading researcher on sexuality and the ovulation cycle, takes a deep, revealing look at the biological processes that so profoundly influence our behavior and sets forth a radical new understanding of women's bodies, minds, and sexual relationships, one that embraces hormonal cycles as adaptive solutions to genuine biological challenges. At the core of Hasleton's new Darwinian feminism is her remarkable discovery that humans, like our animal cousins, possess a special phase of sexuality, called estrus, which comes with a host of physiological and behavioral changes.
Rigorously researched, entertaining, and empowering,Hormonaloffers women deep new insights into their bodies, brains, relationships, and affairs, allowing them to make better-informed choices about sex, marriage, friendship, contraception, and more. Above all,Hormonalis a clarion call to appreciate and embrace the genius of female biology.

Recenzii
"What
a
refreshing
book.
Finally,
a
feminist
with
the
courage
to
discuss
women
not
as
victims
of
their
hormones
but
as
elegantly
built
captains
of
their
minds
and
lives.
In
this
solidly
scientific
yet
graceful
book,
Haselton
shows
how
women's
evolved
hormonal
activities
help
them
shop
for
Mr.
Right,
compete
with
rivals,
and
raise
healthy,
productive
young.Hormonalalso
informs
on
vital
current
issues-from
bearing
babies
in
middle
age
to
taking
hormone
supplements
in
later
life.
This
is
the
real
story
of
women.
It's
an
honest,
accurate,
important,
and
captivating
read.—Helen

"Martie Haselton has written the book many of us have been waiting for: a genuinely feminist exploration of what we know about how our hormones shape the way we feel, love, and behave. I thought I knew a lot about the biology she covers, but Haselton gave me a much deeper understanding of our sexual and reproductive lives. Whether you're wanting to understand your hormonal teenager, your life as a college student, your desire to protect your babies, your sexual peaks and valleys, or how we women just keep developing sexually into our sixties and on, this is the book for you. With lively prose and healthy skepticism, Haselton takes us a fascinating tour of our hormones."
—Alice Dreger, author of Galileo's Middle Finger
"Hormonalis a brilliant book. It takes readers on a fascinating journey through the hidden molecules that influence women's bodies and minds. Anchored in deep science, Haselton takes the reader on a mesmerizing tour from the stirrings of puberty to the aftermath of menopause, from sexual fantasies to the ways in which women often call the shots in the game of mating. Required reading for all who seek to understand the hidden forces of hormones. It shows how all women are linked to a long and unbroken chain of wise ancestral mothers, and how modern women can control their own mating destinies."—David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire
"A book about the effects of hormones on the behavior of female rodents might be dull, but it would not be controversial. Substitute humans for rodents, and prepare for a storm. InHormonal, Haselton takes on this challenge and explores the complex roles that hormones play in women's lives as we choose our mates, cultivate our relationships, rear our children, and transition to menopause. Written with passion and wit,Hormonalprovides important insights about the female experience."—Joan Silk, professor, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University, and coauthor of How Humans Evolved
"Written by a leader in her field,Hormonalbeautifully exposes the powerful and unrecognized influence hormones play in our lives. The book is essential reading for both women and men interested in a deeper understanding of the influences contributing to our choices and preferences. Hormonal is engaging, clever, very funny at times, and always scientifically impeccable."—Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD, coauthor of Zoobiquity
"Women and men are different -- in all sorts of ways. And yet discussing these differences has become taboo. Happily, there are still courageous scientists who will not let a moral panic stand in the way of their intellectual interests. InHormonal, Martie Haselton gives us a brave and fascinating tour of what we know we know about sex differences, but are often afraid to discuss. Read it, whether or not you have a uterus."—Sam Harris, author of five New York Times bestsellers and host of the Waking Up podcast
"A smart and engaging scientific story about the amazing molecules that drive our behavior."—Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness
"Deep, thoughtful, and eye-opening, this book teaches us that the more we know about hormones, the more we can manage our lives."—
