(PRWEB) March 20, 2005 -- The book, The Male Thing Explained: Secrets of an Orgasmic Urban Baby Boomer is an uncensored journey through the authors life. But in many ways his experiences, represent those of every man and every woman who grew up "Baby Boomer." Due to the pressures of Society, most men do not share their inner fears and carry many misconceptions about what "manhood and maleness" are all about. And women also, often needlessly carry their own painful anger, guilt and shame issues. Subsequently, we have ended up having to deal with the "effects" and "defects" associated with false myths and suppositons that dictate behavior of women toward men . . . and men toward each other. If the "battle between the sexes" is ever to be resolved, woman and men need to work through the anger and find the common ground of mutual respect.

The Male Thing Explained: Secrets of an Orgasmic Urban Baby Boomer proves beyond a doubt truth is stranger than fiction. In this autobiographical saga, a few days before the authors wife dies of a terminal illness, precipitated by the newly-discovered knowledge of his spouses deceitfullness, Goldstein begins a convoluted voyage of self-discovery. Within a twenty-four hour period, as if viewing a movie, the mosaic of his life slowly unfolds.

What sets The Male Thing Explained apart from other books is that Goldstein uses his own life history, as well as, his extensive academic background, as a vehicle that dispels a multitude of myths and misconceptions about the human condition-identity, gender, sexuality, relationships, and motivation behind our behavior patterns. Against the backdrop of the pinnacle historical and cultural events, which shaped the mores and attitudes of the Baby Boomer generation, this ofttimes humorous, sometimes tragic, occasionally ribald and politically incorrect memoir graphically documents the authors passage into manhood. With unparalleled candor and intimacy, Goldstein explores the diverse territories of family ties, human sexuality, spiritual development, coping with catastrophic illness, and dealing with betrayal. As a result, while being entertained by the narrative, the reader inadvertently gains insightful keys to understanding the battle between the sexes and healing revelations on the inner workings of both men and women. Ultimately, one is rewarded with the gift of an expanded self-compassion and a greater tolerance of others.

Drawing from five college degrees, worldwide travels, and a lifelong quest for knowledge regarding human and animal behavior, embedded in the context of the story, Goldstein documents the child development stages a boy experiences from infancy to young adulthood. He investigates the influential aspects of relationships with parents, siblings, and peers. At times, he compares human behavior to the instinctual actions of animals. And the rituals of men in one culture are occasionally contrasted with those in other cultures. The result is a remarkably personal story, which provides an in-depth, spherical view of the evolution of the male ego identity."

Author, lecturer, health and holistic educator, physical therapist, intuitive, artist, and devout animal lover-Edward Lee Goldstein defines himself as both healer and mentor. In his approach to wellness, Edward utilizes his diverse academic background including a Masters degree in Health Education and a Masters in Art. He brings to the table experiences from his extensive travels and an innate talent for seeing the big picture." While conducting his consciousness-raising healing seminars and working with clients privately or in groups, he embraces humor, the esoteric, and practical information. He believes whether there are physical, emotional, spiritual, or financial challenges to address, by eclectically integrating the left, analytical brain with the right, intuitive brain, one can heal from the inside out. Through his interactive, cognitive behavioral, anecdotal approach, he imparts the skills and knowledge that guarantees success.
