Goddesses Never Age

30-something, loved this book!

Where does Goddesses Never Age rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is in my top 3 of health books I have listened to on Audible. It was informative on so many levels and I enjoyed it so much that I have recommended it to a dozen or so women of different ages.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Goddesses Never Age?

I went into this book looking for health advice, but came out with so much more. I'd have to say her discussion on dealing with past emotions was very helpful to me.

Which character – as performed by Christiane Northrup – was your favorite?

No characters except myself. So, I guess I am my favorite character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES. I listened to it everyday during my commute until it was done. Very interesting, very easy to understand, well narrated, and I just loved it.

Any additional comments?

I read the other reviews on this book and noticed a few folks taking issue with her mentioning her love for dancing the tango at various points in the book. I also noticed people complaining that you'd need to be living a life of leisure into practice. BS. That is NOT true. I work a full-time job and I commute FOUR HOURS A DAY in Los Angeles traffic AND I am a single parent to a teen living on a non-profit museum salary! I never once felt like her suggestions were out of my reach. She never says, "You must do Pilates, dance tango, work from home, blah blah blah, in order to be healthy." She simple gives ideas on things that have brought her joy, happiness, and health in order to inspire to reader to find their own way. At her suggestion to try new things, I enrolled in a Pilates class because it was something that I have always wanted to do and even though my first lesson had me feeling like a fat Mr. Bean tangled in an octopus, I kept thinking about how encouraging her words were as I stuck it out! Her food suggestions are ON POINT and totally back by current nutritional science and I loved her writing style and "voice." Loved this book. ALL females should read it. Seriously.

Absolutely the best book I have ever read!

I bought the Audible version and knew fairly quickly that i had to have the print version as well. This book is a treasure trove of cutting edge information on staying healthy and fit and loving life, regardless of age. I love the wealth of resources that Dr. Northrup puts at our fingertips. I have already purchased two of the books she recommends and I am finding then to be all that she said that they are. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr Northrup , for this uplifting and empowering book! I love it and am recommending it to every woman I know!

Good Content

Would you listen to Goddesses Never Age again? Why?

yes, it is filled with informative, inspirational, and empowering content.

What did you like best about this story?

As a over 55 woman, I was able to relate to most of the situations addressed.

What does Christiane Northrup bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

To listen to the author narrate was beneficial because it gave more impact to the truth of what she had written. It is a lengthy book even in audible form. (I've listened through two times and then certain chapters 3 or 4 times.) I will be buying the hardcopy to go back and listen again in order to highlight and reinforce the most meaningful passages.

Any additional comments?

She definitly has "turned on the lightbulb" to take control of my life to have fun with things I want to try, not always following what others expect of me or what they want to do. So at the end of the day, I can now cross things off of my list for myselfs' sake of joy, not the responsibility or obligation list. MY very own singular, personal, bucket list. Little and big. ie: I took an online course to get a license for a particular profession so now I don't have to punch a time clock or sit in a cublicle for employment or work with my husband!!!! this is hugely empowering... And I went to a Jareds jewelry store. Stupid yes, but always wanted to see what those great ads were about. No, I missed nothing. Will not go back to one. Yes, the book is worth the audible and hardcopy.

Comprehensive advice

Everything you ever wanted to know and more. Not only western medicine, eastern medicine, astrology, but God, spirit, etc. there is a whole lot of work we need to do to achieve ageless status and a whole lot of books to read and tests and supplements and affirmations and EFT and diets and.....I find myself wondering how anyone would find the time. Still, if you are able to get just a fraction of what she suggests and apply it, it's worth the time.

I. would rather have bought the book than the audible version.

Goddesses Never Age has changed my life!

This book has made such a profound impact on my life I have read it twice & listened to it over & over again. I attribute the wonderful relationship I shared with my Mother the last year of her life along with the deeper & more fulfilling relationships I now have with my family, friends & my husband to Christine's advice as well as that of some of her favorite experts. I feel my Goddess years are going to be amazing thanks impart to this wonderful book! I can't recommend it enough!

Lots of information for women of all ages.

What did you love best about Goddesses Never Age?

She had medical proof of her assertions. Dr. Northrup shares studies, experiments and statistics. She's marries them with alternative ideas and medical information.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

She discussed the value of letting go of information of your past that you might be carrying around and that makes impacts on you physically now. She also shares the importance of being able to laugh and enjoy life-and there's a study or that, too. The book has so many valuable topics to it. One might not know that by looking at the list of chapters.

Any additional comments?

I wish that I would have heard this information when I was younger. However, I'm uncertain that I would have been interested in the topics discusses. Dr. Northrup is easy to listen to. You don't feel preached to, either. My only criticisms of the audio are that the names of the chapters really don't express the wonderful contents. As an audio book, I do not have access to the footnotes, references or bibliographies that she says "See ____" So one really needs to be prepared to write notes if you want to see research, references or other medical information.

Expected this to be better

This was a huge disappointment. I've read previous books by the same author and thought the information was more universal. I feel this book is clearly written for someone living a life of leisure... as I can't imagine running around spending all my time trying to fulfill my desires and feel pleasure when I am working 50-60 hours a week to support a household.

For most of the book though, I felt like she was just rattling off silly new age tips and ideas, and there wasn't any point to what she was saying, other than if you spend all of your time pursuing pleasure, you'll be ageless. Don't buy a crappy chocolate cake, get a gourmet one. Ok? There were also times were I felt like I was being lectured, which made me like the book even less. Her voice certainly didn't help with that.
