StoryShots Book Summary and Review of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex by John Gray

Introduction

“A valuable, much-needed book. A contribution to the understanding of the communication styles of men and women.” — Harville Hendrix, author of Getting the Love You Want

In relationships, men and women often behave differently, leading to the two parties having different expectations and goals. This can cause conflict and strain relationships.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is a #1 New York Times bestselling book on the common relationship problems between men and women. The book believes these difficulties result from psychological differences between the sexes. At the most basic level, we can distinguish between the sexes based on how they respond to stress. 

The book helps men and women understand each other and reconcile their differences. John Gray creates a translation guide using the playful metaphor of men being from Mars and women being from Venus. Both Martians and Venusians can use this guide to better understand each other. Through this guide, they can develop intimacy and build stronger relationships.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus has now sold more than 15 million copies and is the highest-ranked work of non-fiction from the 1990s.

“Gray offers a Berlitz of the heart, a translation of that foreign language your spouse is speaking. And hearing.” — USA Today
