Short Synopsis
An essential guide from award-winning journalist, legal analyst, and trial attorney Lisa Bloom that shows women how to seize back control of their lives and minds from the excesses of pop culture and learn to think for themselves again.

Full Synopsis
According to Lisa Bloom, the women and girls of today represent a stark paradox. While American women excel in education at every level, they likewise obsessively focus on celebrity media. While women outperform their male counterparts in employment in urban areas for the first time in history, they simultaneously spend countless hours staring in the mirror contemplating plastic surgery. Lisa Bloom fears that women are in danger of spiraling into a nation of dumbed-down, tabloid-media-obsessed, reality TV addicts. Too often, they outsource matters to "experts" and in doing so neglect to truly think for themselves.

Lisa Bloom has the solution and it involves one simple word: Think. In this provocative, entertaining, educational, and thoroughly researched book, Lisa outlines the ways that we as a society, and particularly women, have fallen off the intellectual path, and, very specifically, points to how damaging this has been to us on many levels. Lisa shows us the fallout—but she also provides the solutions for "Reclaiming the Brain God Gave You" and seizing back control of your mind and your life. Think is delivered in a no-nonsense manner that will make you laugh, make you question yourself, make you squirm, but, most important, make you start thinking again.

"A wake-up call for women who have succumbed to a culture of mediocrity." ---Kirkus

"Think is a must-[listen] for all mothers and daughters." ---Dr. Phil McGraw

"Lisa Bloom is a dynamo and her book is as smart, quick, and funny as she is." ---Rory Freedman
