Mars and Venus

I bought this little book 9 years ago but I kept it somewhere. This morning as I opened a drawer, I found it. Thought I could share some of it with you.

Mars and Venus by John Gray

John Gray (born 1951 in Houston, Texas) is an American author on relationships and personal growth, best known for his 1992 book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and other "pop psychology" books offering relationship advice.


A collection of passionate tips

Gray's books teach that men and women are intrinsically different in their biology and psychology. He writes that harmony between the sexes is achieved by recognizing and accepting these differences rather than trying to erase them. His books have sold over 40 million copies worldwide.

love and sex..What say you?

confidence and trust..Do they come together?

love and romance..Are they inter-related?


good wishes for all..

Critics have accused him of over-simplifying human psychology into stereotypes that fail to adequately describe many people. Communication scholars have published research-based rebuttals to Gray's claims. Other scholars, such as Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics, have also written research-based books that challenge some of Gray's claims.

    Mat Rempits don't impress me. Neither do male chauvinists.

    Never read this book, but I guess relationships between men and women are very complicated matters, cannot be explained and break down in concrete way. In other word, human is a very complicated species! :D

    one thing for sure, man and women thin differently...how to work things out can't really be answered by books but i think more of inter-personal commitment

    I think it's good to explain the different between woman & man. Good to read to reduce the misunderstanding perhaps...

However,only 5% of nutritional supplements are produced according to it - the FitLine® products are among them. Beyond this quality standard, we have developed our own standards t...
