Toner discusses the biological and psychological factors that contribute to the development of this instinct, as well as the cultural and social influences that shape our understanding of motherhood.Throughout the book, Toner draws on a wide range of sources, including scientific research, literary works, and personal anecdotes, to illustrate his points. He also provides practical advice for mothers, including tips on how to nurture their children and build strong bonds with them.Maternal Instinct: Or Love is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on one of the most important aspects of human nature.
