Publisher's summary

For all men and women who thirst to love and be loved by a woman, these words and stories of guidance from Clarissa Pinkola Estes are aqua vitea, the water for life and soul.

Dr. Estes teaches that in love relationships, each partner challenges, nourishes and transforms the other. To achieve this lifelong love requires an understanding of the mysterious internal cycles that fuel relationships. Through irresistable storytelling, How to Love a Woman shows how every relationship fades and expires, only to be reborn in a fresh and strengthened form.

Great book

Would you consider the audio edition of How to Love a Woman to be better than the print version?

Yes I would. This allows me to read it more then once to absorb all the content while driving my car.

What did you like best about this story?

An insight to what women are really like and how they think.

What about Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s performance did you like?

I love the way she tells the stories with so much feeling.

What did you learn from How to Love a Woman that you would use in your daily life?

I learned how to be a better husband and a better man. The 12 things to look for in a mate are especially helpful. For me it is too late to choose a mate but not too late to aspire to possess the attributes in the 12 things. If we all work on being those 12 things our relationships with both women and men will go much smoother.

Any additional comments?

Carrissa Estes has a real insight as to what women want and how to have a relationship with women. I learned so much I took notes to reflect back on when I need help.
Great book with lots of great stories.

Must read for men and women

A beautiful short introduction to what haunts most relationships in modern life, that opens up the reader to parts of her fuller work depending on what they most identify with... cannot recommend it highly enough.

Heart warming, practical and transforming

I've read this book at least four times over the years and I find new insights every time. Clarisa Pinkola Estes is one of my favorite authors and her storytelling is amazing. She has been a true teacher for me and I'm incredibly grateful for her books and stories. I've read them all.

poetic beautiful meaningful

give it time. at first I didn't know. I don't like the skeleton woman that much and then by the middle of this thing the author was the wise woman that I had always hoped to hear from and spoke directly to my heart.

I’ll tell everyone to listen

I’m in love with how smooth and soft she tells the stories and how I feel connected with each story.

Depths of intrigue in Loving a Woman

I loved it. The skeleton woman chasing after the man was quite interesting. Men are not as observant as women.
