A Natural Approach

If you could sum up Perfect Balance in three words, what would they be?

Wealth Of Information

What was one of the most memorable moments of Perfect Balance?

When the book addressed ingredients in health and beauty products and the effect these items have on our hormonal health. Such as paraben.

What does Robert A. Greene bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Robert Greene's performance was excellent. You knew that he was very knowledge on the subject and very passionate about the subject matter.

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

When he spoke about some things I consume that are having a negative effect on my hormones. I would have never known these things if I hadn't listened to this book.

A lot of good information

This is a very useful tool. It is full of useful information. I'm going to get the paperback version to keep as a reference guide.

Great book for WOMEN.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after I bought this book that it is written purely to deal with FEMALE hormonal issues. It handles that very well. For a guy like me, though, who is also interested in hormones from the male point of view, such as testosterone, it was a waste of money.
