Product Description
Well loved marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and tell better by acknowledging the differences between them.
Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in like, and had pleased relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to planet and loss of memory set in: they forgot they were from different planets.
Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly in the works conflicts between men and women, Gray clarifies how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to neutralize these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles (“get close”, “back off”), and female self-esteem fluctuations (“I’m okay”, “I’m not okay”). He encourages readers to accept the additional gender’s particular way of expressing like, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each additional’s emotional needs.
With practical suggestions on how to lower conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner’s behavior and methods for preventing emotional “trash from the past” from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to renovate deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.Amazon.com Review
Relationship counselor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women–men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, after all–and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept these differences before they can renovate more pleased relationships. In this unabridged version, Gray gives a spirited manner of language of his message, especially when role-playing predictable male/female interactions. Although it takes some time to adjust to his slightly nasal tone, the information is sound and gives both men and women helpful hints on improving themselves and their union.

I loved this book and it was very vital to me. If you are Jewish (or even if you are not), and you are interested in how gender determines our lives and our history, check out Rabbi Jeff Salkin’s new book, Searching for My Brothers: Jewish Men in a Gentile World, which is available here at Amazon.com. It is the tale of how Jewish men have viewed themselves and their world, and it tells how Judaism can help men deal with the issues that face them — like work, lust, and meaning. You will like it!

My goodness. This book is, well……what can I say? I would NOT recommend reading throuh the whole book like I so foolishly tried to do. Still, this book, it does help you know men or woman, whatever your gender may be.

While “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” is a useful guide to maintaining a healthy relationship with one’s mate, I can’t say I agree with the title.
I don’t mean to sound like a raging misogynist, but the planet Mars is typically linked with invasions, ruthless attacks, and unspeakable horrors. Considering most guys I know are laid-back schlubs who want to spend all day on the couch, who does this sound more like?
For example, I recently chose to play “Cap’n Sensitive” and help out around the house by building the bed. Now, aside from the pillows that my wife and I really sleep on (the purpose of a pillow, unless I’m flawed), we have seven “cute, cozy, decorative” pillows that rest on top of the bedspread.
Rumor has it that, there is a very point order to follow when placing the pillows. It’s partially based on rank (i.e. size) and color, but logical analysis would be unable to determine the proper structure upon first glance.
Needless to say, my head was removed when my wife learned of my ignorant pillow-placement. She spent five minutes “explaining” that the one with the frills goes flower-side-out, because “nobody wants to see vertical stripes on the bed.” Why she felt the need to impart this information at the top of her lungs is beyond me.
My point is this: Mars is regularly depicted as a hostile aggressor to silent, unsuspecting planets. I’m certainly the silent, unsuspecting planet around here.

Devoted fans will notice that John Gray has even written an exercise book now. Did you ever question yourself what expertise prepared him to write his Mars/Venus book in the first place? Is he really the best person to be guiding patrons through major relationship decisions? For that matter, is self-help in all-purpose cost-effective? Is there any proof? Which types of it are worthwhile–and which are outright scams? Is it possible that self-help can do more harm than excellent to you and the people you like? Do its basic premises make sense…or do they break down under deeper scrutiny? Is there a downside to being uplifted? What have been the wider social costs of self-help to society, industry, and American children?
You won’t find the answers to these vital questions in books written by people named Gray, McGraw, Williamson, Robbins, Schlessinger, or any of the additional customary icons or rising stars of the self-help industry. (And make no mistake: Self-help is an industry–to the tune of some $8.56 billion in annual revenues.) The more you feel that you need a small help in life, the more you owe it to yourself to take a look at my book, SHAM: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless. It’s a painstaking, carefully documented look at the self-help industry. You can find all you need to know about it right here on Amazon, before building a choice about whether to buy. Even just reading its reviews may save you money on the worthless stuff.
