Publisher's Summary

For more than 20 years, John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped couples deepen their intimacy and rejuvenate their love lives. Men and women, it revealed, communicate so differently, we might as well be from different planets. By learning to speak each other's language, millions of people dramatically improved, even saved their relationships.

But the world has changed.

Today, what it means to be a man or a woman is more nuanced and complex than ever. Both men and women are now freer to move beyond the restrictions of traditional gender roles to embrace their authentic selves.

But gender freedom shouldn't mean gender blindness. Men and women are still fundamentally different on a hormonal level. Our new needs in today's evolving and stressful fast-paced world - to remain healthy and happy hormonally and in the context of our relationships - are also fundamentally different.

As the roles of men and women evolve, relationships must evolve as well. To meet our new needs, we require a new kind of relationship.

In Beyond Mars and Venus, Gray takes the Mars-Venus framework to the next level, helping listeners to grow together in love. Through real-life examples and simple exercises, Beyond Mars and Venus shows you how to bring you and your partner closer than ever before.

promotional bs. "buy my suppliments"

garbage. he literally tells you to go to his website and buy suppliments to solve problems.

should be required reading

Beyond Mars and Venus is essentially the revamped version of men are from Mars and women are from Venus written for individuals and couples of today.

The writer breaks down communication tweaks, relationship stages and hormonal processes that men and women go through and enables a deeper understanding of both yourself and your partner.
I wish I had this invaluable knowledge in my head a year ago when I got back together with my partner. I will now be a much better partner in my future relationship.

Every adult needs this book!

I am beyond words for this incredible peice of inspiration. A must read for anyone who wants to understand themselves and others, regardless of relationship status. Understanding hormones and how they manipulate our behavior and how we can change our behavior to manipulate them is fascinating and necessary for bringing about consistent change. It isn't your fault or the other persons fault, its the hormones!

Best relationship self development book

This book will give you the modern insights you need to develop your communication skills and understanding of your partner.
This is the best book by far that I have read in this genre.

Do yourself a favour. Give this book a read and it might just change your life.
It changed mine.

phenomenal

I feel like I've been waiting a lifetime for this information. If I could've read this earlier, I could've saved myself a lot of trouble.

Slow start but great advice

The first few chapters where a bit hard, skip to chapter 5 is you are struggling, the later chapter are well worth it.

Great advice !

I've recently been in a rut and ordered a few self help books and this one was the most enjoyable by far so far, and the positive tone of the author and his voice make it easy to want to go back and listen again, it hasn't landed me the girl yet but i'm hopeful

If I only knew this stuff 40 years ago...!

Wow! Beyond Mars and Venus is enlightening, powerful, and insightful! If I only knew this stuff 40 years ago, I might have saved a marriage. After reading the book it’s so easy to “see” the dynamics of a male - female relationship and what to do to manage and improve communications. ....a must read for any man wanting to have a great relationship with his special woman!

Truly an eye opening book

Voice narration was a bit too monotonous, so it was hard to follow at times, but otherwise is a must read book.

wonderful insights!

every couple must read this book.
so much knowledge , need to absorb and use them

still outdated and biased pseudoscience opinions

there's still a lot of pseudoscience in this book and whilst updated from original book, I would still say it features a lot of biases. I was curious to read it but disappointed with the information I found, it was very repetitive throughout the whole book - there may be a better relationship book out there!

Dull and repetitive

After a while all you hear is the word ‘testosterone’ said over and over again. I wonder what percentage of this book is made up of the word testosterone? Sounds like way more than half. Also it makes zero sense mostly and the rest is opinion passed as fact.

Best insightful book to improve your relationships

This author is brilliant in his style of presentation, information on the subject matter, excellent easy listening- empowers you to take control of your emotions, to understand how human interaction can be improved- to build a brilliant relationship especially with those you love

Must read for anyone in a relationship

I feel that this this book is so important to me.

It provides me with an understanding of how to navigate my relationship.

I want my relationship to work and will use the knowledge to make it work.

Additionally, I am in awe to know how intricate our creator is in making us such that even hormones play a role in how we should best treat each other, for our own happiness.

Should be a lecture in school.

I found this book so very insightful, and I can not help but think, this should be widely available to us when we are growing up and starting our (sometimes terrible) relationships. I wish I knew at least a glimpse of it a lot sooner, but nevertheless I am just happy I came across this book now.

A GEM of a book!

Thank you John, so much useful information in these pages! I will certainly have to re-listen to the book and do your free course too, to help the information sink in. Thank you for dedicating your life to helping men and women understand each other better. Thinking in terms that we are from two different planets definitely helps for the message to come through clearer. I have read your original book as well and found it really insightful at the time. Thanks again for all you and your daughter do.

Very useful information

I did not find this book an easy listen but I found the information extremely useful. I particularly learned a lot about how male and female hormones affect men and women differently and about how important it is for each gender, when stressed or depleted, to take action to return to their male or female side. Understanding these principles can really help couples build a happier, more peaceful relationship.

An eye opening!

the first book which I found it all useful. I intend to listen to it again and again. Its thorough and soo practical that I started to apply and had an immediate results.

the only thing is that in some parts ,its repeatative!

Thank you John Gray for this effort.

Amazing, life changing book. Change for a better.

Reading by the author absolutely high quality lector. In my opinion that's a good idea for Mr Grey.
I already turned some ideas into my life and I can see how good does it work. Now I, understand much better and believe in how the things work between us in society. I know, now I can make relationships better and also be more happy and calm myself.
Thank You very much!

Boring and sexist

Most boring and sexist book ever existed. I could not finish it, it may get better at the end.
