About this audiobook

The Phenomenal #1 New York Times Bestseller

In his classic guide to understanding the opposite sex, Dr. John Gray, provides a practical and proven way for men and women to improve their communication and relationships by acknowledging the differences between them.

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.

Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now viewed as a modern classic, this timeless book has helped men and women realize how different they can be in their communication styles, their emotional needs, and their modes of behavior, and offers the secrets of communicating without conflicts, allowing couples to give intimacy every chance to grow.

    A book for MEN... for men to excuse their behavior, and for women to excuse mens behavior!
    Short & curly of it.... Men need to be adored, appreciated, admired and accepted, and women just need a pat on the head followed by a hug!

    Totally agree with leaving men in their cave if they truly are as this book paints them!

    As an author, I'm trying to read books that would give me insights for me to develop my female characters.
    It's really hit and miss, and unfortunately this book was a miss.

    My first impression on reading this book was that it was outdated and probably written in the 1940's-1950's, and so I was surprised that it came out in 1991. The title, as well as much of the content was a bit gimmicky, full of childish metaphors. It also seems to be an exercise in self-promotion, with the back pages filled with advertisements of his other books, 'teaching' aids, tapes, DVD's and seminar offerings.

    It is so repetitious, obviously to fill the pages, as he says the same thing over and over again. The whole book of 323 pages could have been reduced to thirty pages.

    Of course, I am not in the best position to judge the book, as my wife is Cambodian, and a lot of stuff just doesn't apply to her culture.

    For example, in our house the toilet seat is almost always up. And she is in charge of the money - I'm the one that has to ask for pocket money

    The more I think abut this book that I have owned for approximately ten years, the more I think it's just stupid. Maybe this is helpful for someone who actually does think that men and women are different species, or is completely clueless re the opposite sex. I mean, if you can't figure out on your own that men don't like to be given advice and like their egos (etc.) stroked or that women often feel overworked and underappreciated and tend to like presents, maybe this is the book for you. But realize, too, that it's an extremely simplistic analysis of the war between the sexes.

    Amplifying stereotypes in disregard of the neuroscience of male and female brains, and centered on the experience of western culture. Basically useless to anyone who’s interested to go a bit deeper than surface.

    The narrator repeats a lot of points. However, don't let this take away from your experience. I found that through multiple examples, I learned and truly understood more about my partner and myself than I have in the past two years. the information is still relevant today and if you are considering listening or reading this book I highly recommend it!

    I can't believe this kind of books are still out on the market!! It's SO outdated and sexist that I was having a hard time believing that the author takes himself and this book seriously.

    My deepest and most sincere condolences to all of the patients and People who have tragically believed and/or lived by what he's stating in this book.

    However I must thank this book because it did remind me that there is still a ton of work to be done when it comes to affective responsibility.

    When I first begin reading this book, it seemed very dated, and the author would occasionally make subtle hints promoting other items and seminars available. Looking past the few distractions, I discovered a wealth of indispensable information to improve my relationship with my spouse as well as improving communication with people in the workplace and social situations. I only wish that I had discovered this book earlier in my life, because I believe that my live in general would have been much more rewarding and enjoyable. I definitely recommend reading this book to anyone and think that it would be beneficial to add as part of the curriculum in high schools, that is if high schools ever begin to implement teaching classes related to practical live application.
