I never read the book cover to cover, but as a man and as a father, I had the book around when my two sons were growing up and referred to it alot when we were not feeling well, or when there was something going on with our bodies. James Green made this book for every man to be able to know what herbs are in our Mother Nature's garden that are specifically beneficial for male bodies and how each one does its job. I just sent my son his own copy for his 23rd birthday. It is a gift that I know he will use, value and benefit from for the rest of this life. The most memorable part of the book for me is the chapter about the heart. The author goes beyond the herbs and talks about more that really affects male health in this country. James Green shares how males in this society are set up for heart failure at an early age. From childhood, males are shut down emotionally...males cannot cry, be held as much as girls, show any emotion, for that is not 'manly' in this culture. The social dictators of the day had no idea that by treating young males in this loveless and harsh way, that the repression of feelings constricted their young hearts and circulatory systems that would fail sooner than that of females, who were socially allowed to cry, hug and kiss each other in public to show innocent affection. That is why for so many years the % rate of heart attacks and heart disease was primarily in males. (Now that women are more in the 'rat race', this % has changed a little.) Therefore, the author recommends allowing for emotional display, regardless of gender, which will give us all a better chance at a healthy long life worth living. I highly recommend this book to any male who cares about his life and health, and to any female who has a male in her life whom she loves.Read full review
