The national bestseller in its complete form.

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.

Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Dr. John Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling, loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners.

Now available in its complete, unabridged form, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is an invaluable tool for developing deeper and more satisfying relationships.

　　自古以來，不論中外，女性在以男權為中心的社會中都處於一種被壓抑的狀態。社會不曾給予女性受教育與參與各種社會意見的機會，女性的作用似乎隻是一個傢庭的看護者，甚且在一夫多妻的社會裏可能淪為男人性需求與繁衍後代的工具。女性的聰明纔智既受到壓抑，在有限的社會圈子裏投訴無門，隻好把滿腹的不平潛藏於心，做一名杜基體裝下的馴服者，或是化為潑辣抗俗，為人論柄。女性為男人附屬品的位置一坐幾韆年，所幸本世紀初女權運動因爭取女性的政治投票權，加上戰爭期間，許多女人取代瞭男人的工作地位，女性纔得以走齣傢庭，在社會建設上發揮其一壓數韆年的纔乾。呈獻給中國各年齡層男女讀者麵前的這本書，是一本有助於完善夫妻關係、保持美滿基姻，使夫妻結伴走完人生旅途的通俗性的心理自助讀物。

精彩書評

Gray's "new" unabridged version of the now modern classic title on relationships offers the listener nine hours and 30 minutes of the best advice that one will ever hear about comprehending the communication styles of men and women. Gray, author of Mars and Venus in the Bedroom and Mars and Venus Together Forever, explains how a Martian (man) and a Venusian (woman) can overcome differences and build a mutually fulfilling, loving relationship. He offers advice on how to move beyond these differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and ways of behavior to promote a greater understanding between both partners. If you have only one title on interpersonal relations and communication in marriage, this should be it. Highly recommended.
