Now from best-selling author and television commentator, Dr. Gail Saltz, comes the thinking woman’s guide to sex. With a dose of good humor, Dr. Saltz explains that how a woman sees herself sexually influences how she thinks, feels, and behaves in almost every aspect of life. This creates a ripple effect that emanates outward in every direction, impacting family life, friendships, and work. THE RIPPLE EFFECT examines the five negative thoughts and stories that typically define a mature woman’s sexual identity. Once she understands where her sexual identity comes from and how it affects her life, a woman can then turn the ripple effect into a positive force for change. The vitality and power one acquires from a positive sexual identity then radiates outward to help a woman become the carefree, confident person she is in all of the important areas of her life. By drawing on her expertise, with personal stories from her practice, Dr. Saltz shows women how to free themselves and develop the confidence to know, and like, who they are so they can live life more fully.

The Ripple Effect
"... is about far more than sex, it's about getting in touch with the deep life force within that sustaijs and replenishes us, the force from which sexuality derives."
