Publishers Weekly likes DIRTY MINDS!
I work up this morning to a Google Alert--Publishers Weekly reviewed DIRTY MINDS: HOW OUR BRAINS INFLUENCE LOVE, SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS.
I was thrilled to find that they reviewed the book at all--but I'll be floating for some time after seeing such a great view. I'm especially partial to the line, "Sukel leaves no stone unturned as she delves into the complex, cerebral world of relationships."
Thanks, PW!

Another positive review
Scicurious, a famous (or infamous?) science blogger, gives a thumbs up to DIRTY MINDS.
In it, she says:
The book remains lighthearted and entertaining throughout, with some truly excellent passages of top science writing (the neurobiology of the voles is a particularly great section). Kayt weaves the narrative of science with her own relationship and parenting experiences, but never pretends to give advice or say we’ve found the answers. Instead, she learns along with the reader, making the experience that much more engaging, like you're learning things from a friend who just happens to gossip about all the really FUN scientific studies. On the whole the book is entertaining, informative and nuanced.
Not too shabby!

The orgasm heard 'round the world...
...or something like that.
DIRTY MINDS has been in the news this week. Here's the skinny:
fMRI orgasms, including my own contribution to this line of research, ended up in the Guardian's top 10 list of great science stories for 2011. How 'bout that?
What does DIRTY MINDS and Katherine Heigl have in common? They are both featured in the January 2012 issue of ELLE magazine. Out on newsstands now, the DIRTY MINDS review appears on page 107--and Ben Dickinson, book editor extraordinaire, says DIRTY MINDS "fairly bristles with causes to reflect on our erotic complexity."
And, of course, there are 48 hours left to win a signed advance copy of the book. Just head on over to the DIRTY MINDS Facebook page to enter.

I'm getting overwhelmed!
I am so happy to share that Dirty Minds: How Our Brains Influence Love, Sex, and Relationships has received two more great reviews.
The January 2012 issue of Scientific American puts it on its list of recommended reading. Reviewer Kate Wong says, "In exploring such topics as monogamy, the parent-child bond, pheromones, and male and female responses to pornography, Sukel reveals just how complex and mysterious our brains really are."
I also received a nod from one of the bravest women I know: Christine Gilbert, author of the popular digital nomad blog, Almost Fearless. In her review of DIRTY MINDS called Crazy, Sexy, Lovely Brain Chemistry, she says, "Kayt is honest and funny as I expected, but the science is what surprised me the most." She also said that she loved the book. Can't beat a recommendation like that!

Washington Post reviews DIRTY MINDS...
...and they call it "a serious, informative and highly entertaining survey of the neurobiology of sexual attraction."
It's nice to wake up to such an amazing review. You should check it out!
