Narration: Absolutely perfect for this nonfiction book, Warm, expressive without being too expressive, let the humor shine through, Did not annoyI won this book from Goodreads, I like to read books about interesting people and Dr, Ruth is a little power house, Everyone knows Dr. Ruth as the sex therapist, but she is truly much more than that, This book focuses on her life, Dr. Ruth was born on June,as Karola Ruth Siegel, She
was taken to a German Jewish safe camp with aroundother children after her father was taken from the family home by Nazis,
Dr. Ruth was trained as a scout and a sniper by the Hagenah the Jewish paramilitary once she immigrated to Palestine at age, Her training came about because of her size, as it made it easier for her to be undetected, After a while she was injured and as a result was allowed to leave the military,
Dr. Ruth hungered for a better life and for the education that was originally denied to her, Once Dr. Ruth was allowed to seek higher learning she made it her mission, Even though Dr. Ruth has written books, been on radio and TV, teaching is her first love, She has taught at several universities,

There are so many more interesting facts and stories that she shares about her life in this book and I say it is definitely worth checking out as you will be inspired.
The Doctor is In by Dr, Ruth Westheimer is a free NetGalley ebook that I began reading in early April, I had chosen to read this book due to my being on a bio bent, but also because I love Dr, Ruth's open mind, free spirit, ands chic,
Having gone back to school to pursue social sciences, I expected this book to have a bit more of a disciplined academic flow to it, but no, If you look back up at its subtitle, you'll find that it includes the phrase 'joie de vivre,' which pops up just about every other page.
It lends itself to the context and morals of a series of very cheerful and thankful stories, but it wears at you like a sugarfilled papercut, I mean how much joie does my vivre really need to have Love this and Dr, Ruth!
This is the most helpful book about how to bring joie de vivre into your life, I wish everyone would read it! And I hope to meet the amazing Dr, Ruth one day! Lust und Liebe für ein erfülltes Leben
Der Stil, wie Dr, Ruth K. Westheimer ihr neuestes Buch Lebe mit Lust und Liebe: Meine Ratschläge für ein erfülltes Leben“ geschrieben hat, gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, Sie beschreibt darin Szenen aus ihrem eigenen Leben, gibt dabei viele Emotionen von sich selbst preis und bietet uns Lesern danach in kleinen BeispielEpisoden Tipps für ein glücklicheres Leben.
Sie tut dies nicht mit dem erhobenen Zeigefinger, sondern sagt, jeder solle nur die Zutaten aus ihrem Buch herausholen und sie dann selber für sein eigenes Leben mixen, Besonders schön ist ihr persönlicher Leitsatz: "La Joie de vivre" der bedeutet nämlich, sich noch richtig freuen zu können, wie ein kleines Kind, Wenn ich Dr. Ruth gesehen habe natürlich nur im TV dann hatte ich genau diesen Eindruck von ihr, sie freut sich ihres Lebens, Eine Eigenschaft, die jedermann wirklich häufiger ausleben sollte, wie ich finde, Dr. Ruth ist für mich nicht nur eine Optimistin sondern sie lebt Optimismus, Anders kann ich mir nicht erklären, wie sie nach all den schlimmen Schicksalsschlägen immer wieder die Kraft gefunden hat, Positives aus allen Situationen herauszuholen und diese Lebensfreude auch noch anderen vermitteln möchte, selbst dann, wenn es ihr persönlich einmal nicht so gut geht.
Dr. Westheimer erzählt uns Lesern viele noch nicht so bekannte Aspekte von sich selbst, zum Beispiel wie sie als Kind den Holocaust überleben konnte, dass sie eine der Verwundeten im Palästinakrieg war und wie es für sie ist, als Emigrantin zu leben.
Ich habe mich zu jedem Zeitpunkt gut gefühlt, während ich das Buch gelesen habe, Ich konnte durchaus einige Ratschläge für mich selbst heraus filtern, die ich in Zukunft versuchen werde zu beherzigen, Dr. Westheimer schreibt in einem flüssigen Stil, der mich stetig zum Weiterlesen animiert hat, Ganz sicher aber schafft sie es, Gefühle beim Leser zu wecken, bei mir war es u, a. auch Demut. Von Herzen gerne vergebe ich dem Buch seine wie ich finde verdienten fünf von fünf möglichen Sternen und empfehle es allen Lesern weiter, die gerne mehr von Dr.
Ruth Westheimer erfahren möchten und vielleicht selbst gerade in einer Krise stecken und Aufmunterung benötigen oder wissen möchten, wie sie Wege aus einer Niedergeschlagenheit finden können.
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book before official release date,
I loved it ! Whimsical, practical and plain fun, Galley provided free for review by netgalley, com
I really wanted to like this book, I know that Dr. Ruth is typically known for discussions about sex, and that's well and good, but I was excited about reading a little more about her life, She has lived several lifetimes in heryears, and I wanted to know more about her experiences, There are some good lessons in the book, but after a while, reading the book starts to feel like sitting with an elderly relative who has Lessons to Impart, Dr. Ruth's ideas about joie de vivre are good in small doses, but a book full of them kind of hits the reader over the head, There's nothing subtle about the message she wants to send, and she does so with a rather blunt writing style, I wish the book had been a little more carefully edited for style, because it feels a bit clunky and uneven, At one point she says, ", . . Fred was short, and since he wasn't wearing a wedding ring, I could tell he was single, " Why not just say, "He was short, and he wasn't wearing a wedding ring, . . " I think it's safe to assume your readers can make that jump with you, A little while later, she says, parenthetically to her readers, "You may remember it was the subject of the question I asked Dr, Kaplan " Well, yes, the question was asked, literally, three paragraphs earlier, I assure you, we remember, There are chronological jumps that aren't always logical but would actually work if you were sitting in a room with your greataunt, listening to her tell stories about her childhood.
There are things that she repeats like she can't quite remember if she's said it before, so she's just going to tell you again, By the time I was twothirds of the way through the book, I just wanted to get to the end, and that was very disappointing for me, The doctor is in! Americas bestloved therapist, Dr, Ruth, is known for her wise counsel on all matters of the heart, Here she shares private stories from her past and her present and her insights into living life to the fullest at any age,
Everyone knows Dr, Ruth as Americas most famous and trusted sex therapist, but few people know she was raised in an orphanage in Switzerland, narrowly escaping death during the Holocaustor that she was an ace sniper in the Israeli amy.
After years spent as a professor in Paris, Dr, Ruth came to America with big dreams and even bigger chutzpah, And, at the age of eightyseven, she is as feisty as ever,
Through intimate and funny stories, Dr, Ruth sheds light on how shes learned to live a life filled with joie de vivre, And she shows listners how they too can learn to deal with tragedy and loss, challenges and successes, all while nourishing an intellectual and emotional spark and, above all, having fun! Hilarious, inspiring, and profound, The Doctor Is In will change the way you think about life and love, in all its limitless possibilities.
I've previously enjoyed hearing Dr, Ruth's interviews and guest appearances on TV, I can honestly say I learned from the book several things about her that I didn't know from her early life that were interesting, but really felt the book was based more in ego which killed it for me.
It's wonderful that Dr. Ruth found her calling and commands attention wherever she goes, she'd earned her fame on that I will agree, But the level of almost entitled and egodriven behavior and attitude really changed my view of Dr, Ruth the person behind the celebrity, Don't get me wrong, there were some interesting aspects to the book such as learning a bit more about her early life and all she'd been through as a child and young woman.
Her ability to sniff out opportunities and/or create them for herself is admirable, I just couldn't help the continual stab of annoyance every time she forced someone to bend over backwards to cater to her needs/whim, The whiff of simply wanting book sales was pungent with this one, I kept wanting the key to "Joie de Vivre" and as many times as the term was used in the book, felt myself still wanting and waiting for the gem of knowledge that made this book worth reading.
Sadly it never came. .
