Publisher's summary

The Phenomenal Number One New York Times Best Seller

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.

Critic reviews

"A valuable, much-needed book. A contribution to the understanding of the communication styles of men and women." (Harville Hendrix, PhD, author of Getting the Love You Want)

Ahead of its time

It is great to listen to. A book that equally shares both women's and men's points of view so we can understand each other.

Profound!

Of all the books I’ve read on relationships, this has been the absolute most helpful of all! From what o understand there is an updated version of this book. I’ll have to download it next!

A must read!

This is a great book. I hope this would help men and women today understand each other more because we need one another. It’s definitely a war going on today because we fail to understand each-other.

Amazing read

Very insightful, I began reading this when my girlfriend and I were having issues with emotions and how to deal. I feel I now have some tools to make us better to eachother

Wish I knew about this book earlier

Recently divorced after 2 years of seperation. I wish my X-wife and myself read this book 2 years ago. The reasons for most of our problems, which I could not explain before are very clear now. I would have handled many situations differently only if had this knowledge then. I am confident the knowledge gained through this book will be very useful in my future relationships with the people from Venus

loved the hard-copy and loved the audio book

almost everyone has heard of this title unless you live in a cave on an island without any access to society and the opposite sex ... listened to it 3 times (on different flights) - makes me laugh even now just thinking about it ...

outdated

this book is outdated and at times sexist, my advice? take everything in this book with a grain of salt

Very Helpful

Just got engaged. Was great to learn that our new little spats are nothing new at all. Of course, you need to listen to the first section where he tells you that every couple will find that certain section don't apply or are role reversed, but the core issues are still common enough to make a real difference really quickly.

A deeper understanding

My wife has told me that she read this book years ago, and now that I have also read it I really appreciate the things my wife does for me that may have been learned from the book. Her understanding that I need to spend time alone in my man cave to recharge has really made our relationship strong. Now I need to giver her more time to talk and express herself without being interrupted or given “solutions.”

This book has helped me become a better man!

I loved this book. It has changed my life and I will read it again
