Emily Nagoski is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life, and the coauthor of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle. She has an MS in counseling and a PhD in health behavior, both from Indiana University.
"Emily Nagoski has written one of the most important books about
sex any woman (or anybody else) could ever pick up, full of
insights that are both fascinating and deeply useful. Synthesizing
new research and theory about sexuality with old-school
sex-positive information of the sort you didn't learn in sex ed
(unless, perhaps, you are a Unitarian, or Scandinavian, or lucky
enough to be in Dr. Nagoski's class), I guarantee Come As You Are
will open minds and change lives."
-- Carol Queen, Ph.D., Founding director, Center for Sex &
Culture
"Emily Nagoski is worth her weight in TED Talks, and Come as You
Are is a master-class in the science of sex."
-- Ian Kerner, sex therapist and bestselling author of She Comes
First
"It's the science of sex, decoded and demystified. Want to be
educated on the latest findings about female genitalia? Of course
you do. Empowering and sex-positive at best, this informative read
makes for an enticing bedfellow."
--Refinery29
"Like a punch to the gut. When I read the passage that made me
realize--after all these years--that I was not actually broken, I
began to cry. . . . I wished [Nagoski] was someone who was actively
in my life, someone I could reach out to for grounding every time I
momentarily forgot the lessons in her book."
--Book Riot
"Lots of books -- and articles and experts -- claim to have the
keys to transform your sex life. This one actually has it. It isn't
as fast as taking a pill, but it will last a whole lot longer. You
will find no hot new bedroom moves -- it's that deeper-level soul
stuff. You know, the stuff that actually works."
--Salon.com
"Nagoski's book deserves plaudits for the rare achievement of
merging pop science and the sexual self-help genre in prose that's
not insufferably twee. . . . [Come As You Are] offers up hard facts
on the science of arousal and desire in a friendly and accessible
way."
--The Guardian (UK)
"This is the best book I have ever read about sexual desire and why
some couples just stop having sex, and what they can do about it.
Come As You Are is an absolutely necessary guide for all couples
who want to understand the ups and downs in their own sex life. It
is a must read!"
--John Gottman, Ph.D., author of The Seven Principles for Making
Marriage Work
"Wonderful new language to help us articulate to women (and their
lovers) what is going on."
--Huffington Post
