Yet mostwomen have lost sight of their vital need for pleasure,and feel guilty for taking even ten minutes for them-selves- they don't want to seem self-indulgent, or theycan't afford the time, or they're too busy taking care ofother people instead of themselves.
For your own sake and ultimately for your lovedones it's high time you dropped the guilt and tookbacky0ur pleasure. In It's My Pleasure, Maria Rodale,
the dynamic leader of a powerful lifestyle corporationwho successfully revolutionized her own business, and Maya Rodale, her talented writer daughter, show you how to create a pleasure revolution in your own life--to stop hiding your pleasure and incorporate it fully into everything you do, no matter what your age, situation, or religious background. In the Rodales' exciting vision of everywoman's potential, pleasure isnot a simple, momentary experience to be segregated
into a few minutes a day. It's endemic to women's bod- ies, minds, and experiences on Earth. And it's essential foryoztr health and success.
