Editorial Reviews:

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 phenomenal book has helped men and women realize how different they really are and how to communicate their needs in such a way that conflict doesn't arise and intimacy is given every chance to grow.

Summary: Review of Book
Comment: I really enjoyed the book Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus. It is very well written and very easy to follow.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Psychobabble at it's finest.
Comment: The fact that millions of people believe the advice in this book is astonishing.

First and foremost, John Gray is NOT a phD from an accredited university. It is a certificate from an online school that was closed down by the state of California for "running a degree mill." In fact, if you do your research, you will find only his high school diploma is accredited. Do I think that only an accredited phD has valid advice? No. But anyway you slice it, slapping phD all over book covers when you aren't is extremely deceitful and misleading.

That being said, I found this book to be very degrading to women. Statements along the lines of "When the Venusians (women) first saw the Martians (man) they said 'We need you for your strength and power!'" and "women find value in being cherished by a man" are infuriating. Everything about this book insinuates that women need men to take care of them and only feel valuable in the long run if they have a man.

I did find some valid, insightful information in this book, but why John Gray has to pinpoint these insights to either the man or the woman and not on people as a whole is beyond me. Also, the constant referral of men and women as beings from other planets is tiresome and completely unnecessary. We get it. The genders are different in more ways than our reproductive organs. Speak to us as though we are adults, please.

In my opinion, this book is not a book I would give my daughter or son for relationship advice. Instead I would suggest a book that offers advice that is directed to different personalities...not genders.

Summary: The best ever
Comment: This is a 'must read' for every man and woman, even if you think you understand your partner very well.

Customer Rating:

Summary: An Oldie but a Goodie! This stuff still works.
Comment: This book changed my life. It was the first relationship book that made sense of how men and women communicate with each other.

Some things never change and that goes for the way men and women think. That is why this book remains popular today. Men and women are wired differently. It's as simple as that.

John Grey gives us actual tools we can use to understand each other. These tools work.

Through the years, I have gone back again and again to reread this book. It's a must have in understanding the opposite sex. Nancy Marlowe

Customer Rating:

Summary: Loved it
Comment: I got this book to attempt to understand the differences between men and women after repeatedly beating my head against a wall in my dealings with the opposite sex.

I found it extremely insightful into the way each gender thinks, and understanding what my partner wants will definitely be useful in all of my future relationships.

I strongly recommend that if one partner reads it, they both should.

There were a couple of remarks (ie: about the woman's kitchen) that I found a bit bemusing (I'm female and I loathe the kitchen). But they hardly mar the book's quality.

Go on! Read it!
