From the cover, I realized this was going to be a book that would change many of the beliefs I had deeply rooted within me. I think that from the title and the first words the author shares on the cover, you know you are going to learn many new things and unlearn others. I say unlearn because I had no idea about all the benefits that testosterone could bring not only for men but also for women. In fact, I believe one of the best things in life is to break free from the taboos we live with. I think this type of book opens people’s minds and enriches them. If you want to learn and discover new things, this book is a great choice.
I found this book to be extremely enlightening, with information that is well researched, revealing, organized and well explained. I don't usually read many books on medical issues because I have difficulty understanding the technical vocabulary; however, Dr. Charles Mok provides the reader with many years of research, examples and theories explained in great detail for their maximum benefit so anyone can learn and enjoy it. I found the historical context provided by the author to be crucial to understand how hormone replacement therapy evolved. I have no doubt what an enormous contribution this resource will make to the world of medicine and how much we can learn from it.
