She made a very complex subject easy to understand. Her manner was jovial, she explained things fully without using a lot of technical language. I marvelled not only at the topics Dr Nagoski covered, but at the way she presented her findings. Her talk was one of the most enlightening of the summit, and it’s no surprise that it was made available for a second screening following an avalanche of requests. I first came across Dr Nagoski during the Explore More Summit two years ago. I wanted to rain chapters down upon people on the street, so that they’d each have a chance to read and absorb the findings presented in this book. It made me want to race out, buy a thousand copies and distribute them to everyone I knew. But this book made me want to do more than just recommend it. I’m quick to recommend books to my friends and family.

And once I was finally done reading, the next thing I wanted to do was tell everyone about this book. Each piece was a treasure, a segment of a bigger roadmap of sexuality. It took me a full month to get through this book, because after each chapter I felt as though I needed to pause and reflect. But that’s what happened with Come As You Are: The surprising new science that will transform your sex life. It’s a rare and special book that causes me to slow down and give myself a chance to really digest the content. I’m a voracious reader and tend to devour books rapidly.
