Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus - John Gray Reviews

Charity shops are a treasure trove of finds. Cast off and nestling beside a few dog eared Mills and Boons I spotted a pristine copy of Men Are From Mars Woman Are From Venus. Alarm bells should have run inside my head about the contents of this pristine book that appeared not to have been opened. The cynic in me thought perhaps the previous owner ...

The famous international bestseller - Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Claims to be 'The definitive guide to relationships', written by John Gray - a best selling author, lecturer and relationships counsellor. The book is meant as a guide to understanding the opposite sex, and how we communicate, think, feel, perceive, react, ...

Men are from Mars and Women from Venus is a practical guide to improve communication and getting along better in relationship. Men and women are born with differences and the very fact that Eve's desire right from the Temptation garden of Eden made men and women explore the relationship endlessly. Couples need to accept the difference, tune in ...

I'm going to keep this short because the alternative is way too long. Firstly this book (which is guidance about relationships in case you were unsure) does have merit. If you are having difficulties communicating in a relationship then by purchasing it you have acknowledged your problems and can be on the route to solving them. However you ...

My husband bought me a copy of Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus for my birthday a number of years ago. We were not married at the time, in fact, we weren't even dating. He bought me this book by way of explanation…. John Gray sets out in his self-help book chapter upon chapter of reasons as to why men and women behave as ...

It is a long time since I have read this book, in fact I have given it to a friend. I bought this book because I was very much in love with a particularly complex form of the male species, who turned out to be from the cosmos of bastardy. I would really like to know the perspective of Mrs John Gray because Dr. Gray himself turned ...

After experiencing a rather bad patch with my partner, bad as to the extent of nearly splitting up, I'd heard good reviews about this book and decided to read it. I found the book vey hard going and although there were certain chapters that appealed to me such as: How to motivate the opposite sex, really needed to give that one a go! ...

Jonathan Gray, what a book angel, he really understands how women are and what we need. This book is a must, I actually own 4 copies and lend them to my friends with relationship problems. It is a relationship bible and no-one should be without one. This guy writes really well, and as a women I really felt like I was understod by a MAN!!! ...

I’ve been having a break from reading fiction and finally got round to reading one of those must read books “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” by John Gray. I was bought this by a friend for my birthday after years of moaning that I really would never understand the opposite sex. The idea behind this book is that men and ...

Gives you some insight into the opposite sex - but don't take it too seriously. - Advantages: gives insight into how some men and women think - Disadvantages: Not all women are exactly as described in the book - and not all men either

Do not read this unless you want to be happy with your partner for the rest of your life! I am not an evangelist, a lay preacher or anything to do with religion, nor am I a liberal type everyone has the right blah, blah, blah. What I am and what gives me the right to even consider reviewing this book, is that I have been in a 7 ...

I think that most people will have heard of this book, but not all will have read it. Since its release in 1992, John Gray has followed it up with several other “ Mars and Venus” type books, but none of the others seem to have held the public appeal of the original. Others have since tried to copy the style of the book, and in some ...

I found the principle of this book fascinating but I got bored with reading it after the first couple of chapters. The basic idea is sound. The book reminds us that men and women behave differently in the way they approach things such as problems, relationships etc. Tell me something I don’t know I hear you say. This book ...

If you've ever wondered why men do the things they do then this is a must read. I'm 19 and have only managed to read half so far (I will update my review when I finsh) but I have found it very informative and it has really helped me to understand the opposite sex far better! I have been in a relationship now for almost 3 ...

The concept that women and men are actually two totally different species from different planets and that we actually used to revel in and be attracted to the very differences between us that now cause us to want to perform acts of mutilation and murder against each other, is a very intriguing one. The book addresses a vast number of problems we ...

If you never have been confused about the miscommunication that can take place between Men and Women, I would suggest that you are dead. We often think what the opposite sex says is confusing and we get hurt by things that they say. John Gray in Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus suggested that this is because we are basically speaking two ...

An absolute must-read for anyone wanting to understand the opposite sex, written by Dr John Gray a professional relationship councellor, the book cleverly explains how men and women differ and carefully explores (with good humour) the 'hows' and 'whys'of male and female inate differences, from the way they differ emotionally, how ...

Every adult male and female should read this book. I can’t honestly say I would practice what it preaches, but it does give you a good and realistic insight into how your other half ticks, or it could give you a hand in finding someone to be your other half. It is a book that can be taken both seriously or light hearted, or both, ...

I think the problem with John Gray's book is that people are expecting it to be more than it is.......to suddenly resolve serious issues in troubled marriages, or to present a serious view of gender difference..... Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is no more than popular psychology. This in itself is not an insult, but it does set ...

I have to admit that I bought this book due to the acclaim given to it by Bridget Jones. Certainly, life shows most of us that men and women tend to communicate in different ways (try telephoning a man "just for a chat" and see what I mean - my husband will listen for about two minutes and then ask me what I actually phoned for!) so I ...
