A Must Have Book: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Cover of John Gray's Book : “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"

For a long time I heard good reviews about John Gray’s book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”.  I read few great books like Tuesday’s with Morrie and 5 people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom (these are my favorite books), Bo Sanchez blogs and books, and few more of self-help books. I had plenty of eBooks and many of them are unfinished yet.  

At first I was not interested to read this book. I thought I was not ready to read the book and I just don’t know about the author itself. But after meeting Lory and sharing what book is all about, I got so eager to read this book. Lory is my officemate who lend me this book. She bought the book from Korea and I just felt that this book is so precious to her, yet she shared it to me. I was fascinated with her sharing this precious book and that made me decide to read this. Later on buy my own book.

As she handed me this book and start reading it, I found myself nodding and agreeing with what John Gray (the author) was saying. The book was so powerful. It made me cry a bit as the author shared his story. Somehow I feel related with her wife Bonnie. The book have amazing thoughts many people need to know and to understand in having a relationship “to anyone.”

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus has given me the following:

1. I learn to understand my parents. My father and my mother and their misunderstandings;

2. Glenn, our relationship together a young couple , our misunderstandings and demands as man and woman;

3.   My brothers, sisters and friends as a person with different sexes and different needs;

4.   And most of all MYSELF as woman, my reactions  expectations and needs.

        The book has brought me interesting views about people and taught me better way of communicating and understanding them. Although in the book most of the discussions are made for couple there are vivid descriptions and interpretations about men and women individual differences. 

          I just bought my own book and I’m not yet finish reading it. As the author was saying the book will serve as a reference. Something you need to reread to be refresh. To get better grasp on what this book is all about, I encourage everyone to read this book; married, in a relationship or single (whatever your status is). I bet you will enjoy reading the book.
