Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Sunday Times Bestsellar and definitive relationship guide Paperback – Special Edition, 14 Jun. 2018

In very good quality for a used book. Personally I like the vibe of an older used book but it is good quality for the price, there’s some creasing ln the spine but it’s not like I wasn’t expecting that when buying a used book. The pages are in great condition and its most important that I can actually read which I easily can! It’s great :)

This offered profound insights into the male psyche, but I woukd recommend reading both it and the dating self-help book Finding A Guy Like Gilbert which is a sensational read with spot on advice for the modern romantic! Best value Amazon deal ever!

Reading this book I have to say that I really like the way it is laid out and how the basic concepts of the differences between men and women are portrayed. However, since this book is geared towards people in a relationship and committed to making the relationship work, it’s sometimes difficult to understand how to get to that point in the first place if you are in a budding relationship, rather than a strong long term one.For example, it talks about how love has seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and it speaks to the acceptance of these. However, having been broken up with in a distinct spring/summer season not long ago despite being in a place of acceptance of these, it was difficult to read those passages without a feeling of „I get the principles, but never got the opportunity to action“.Now of course these feelings come from a deeply personal place and are solely based on my own experience, but I think it would have been nice to have an introduction specifying specifically what stage of a relationship this book is geared towards as I don’t remember that being a subject and possibly advice would differ depending on the maturity of the relationship.Having said that I learnt a lot from this book and it was a great read, with the ability to gain a lot of insight and understanding of the generic differences (which will still need to be applied to each individual as an individual instead of just accepting each point as a given) and I will be moving on to read some of the other material out there - like mars and Venus on a date. Good stuff! :)

Ok, so, for years I've struggled with understanding why my wife goes on and on about her problems when I see a logical solution. For me the solution is an easy win and I'd have solved it pretty quick. Thanks to this book I now have insight to a woman's way of thinking, when working problems out. Only on page 42 and already I'm using the techniques I never knew about! Not to get my own way but just to make her feel better. So much I didn't understand before. It's an extremely good book, keeping it focused but also with light humour. Anyone can easily learn, if you want to really have a happy relationship read this! I wish I had as I now live separate :( don't make the same mistakes as me. Buy the book!

I really do think that this book is incredible. It essentially explains the thought process and rationale of both men and women alongside each other, and enables you to compare and contrast in a uniquely charming way using story-telling and different scenarios, some being "out of this world"! I would really recommend it as a book to read with a partner or alone, as it can improve relationships not only at home, but with work colleagues and acquaintances as well.There are several chapters in the book about different "areas" of trouble, and through it offers advice as to the difference in how men and women express themselves and the differences in the meaning of their words. After reading this book, I found that there is a lot that goes on in the way we communicate than I had ever realised! Difficulties in my communication with others became much more understandable having read this book. It goes with the basic gist that men are looking to offer solutions to problems that women bring up in conversation, whereas women are looking for empathy and understanding. A lot of communication issues, I believe, can be solved by remembering this basic trend!Some may argue that it could be a bit of old-fashioned stereotyping nowadays, especially as it was originally published over two decades ago! I still believe that it is very much worth a read and there are still a lot of similarities between how this book describes many common situations and how society works today. For anyone who has ever claimed that either men/women are difficult to understand, this book is definitely worth a read!

Has some flaws but still an interesting read: only applicable to hetero couples of course and some of the statements made me laugh out loud because they were so sexist or touchy feely wafty but i can't dispute the fact that it does make sense. However whenever i fight with the boyf i now end up analysing the whole thing afterwards as per the book and it would have been nice if the author hadn't used an occasion where they fought becase his wife was grumpy because she was recovering from tearing during the birth of their child (yes it is part of nature and it happens but did ya have to put it in your book...was she cool with this? if so, good for her...)
