Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
(John Gray, 1994)
Maria Teresa
De Donato's Opinion
With this hilarious book, Dr. John Gray, family
therapist, professor, and author, immerses us in the dynamics of couple
relationships. Love, falling in Love, and living together with all that comes
with it are the pillars of this absolutely timeless publication.
A practical guide to understanding not only the
different ways of COMMUNICATION but also of REASONING and PERCEIVING that
exists between the Female and Male Universe.
It has been scientifically proven that Men's brains
are divided into specific "areas," such as Sex, Motors, Sports,
Career, Money, etc. On the other hand, Women's brains are not only perpetually
connected to the sphere of feelings but operate at 360°.
A man thinks one thing at a time and concentrates on
that, then moves on to the next. In a Woman's life, every moment is connected
to EVERYTHING ELSE, and this is why it often happens that the Man would say to
his wife or partner, who is explaining/telling him something, "Can you get
to the point?"
The Woman, on the contrary, always sees everything
connected to everything else. She follows a different logic and, to "get
to the point," takes a much longer journey (and probably even more
interesting).
This, of course, is just one of the many examples that
make it clear that identifying these two different ways in which the brain
operates, and which leads to a different way of communicating and perceiving
reality, can help – where true Love and the desire of being together – to show
understanding and empathy by accepting and appreciating our respective
differences and our being "complementary."
The book will not
only increase the reader's knowledge and understanding of specific dynamics.
Still, it will also provide him with the key to access the world of others by
making them smile at the many situations that arise in daily life and which,
instead of generating problems and often discussions or even arguments, can be
easily understood and resolved by approaching them, why not, with a great sense
of humor and much Love.
This book can also be ordered on Amazon.
