    About this audiobook

    Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.

    Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. ""It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need,"" Gray explains. ""And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive."" He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin.

    Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.

      l love it, and I am going to read it. Thanks Dr. Gray. Ghada Badri from KSA.

      This was an "interesting" listen. Before I added the title to my library, I read some not so flattering reviews of it. A lot of women saying Gray's stance on how women feel/behave vs. men is very dated and stereotypical. But I read it anyway, and I'm glad I did. While I agree there were some sentences and opinions that had me rolling my eyes, he had a few nuggets of wisdom that I could definitely see being effective in my relationship. I would recommend this to a friend who's struggling to understand why her and her husband are not seeing eye to eye as of late. I would more specifically recommend this to a newly married couple, who perhaps have not yet experienced the "typical" disagreements that Gray laid out.

      Why Mars and Venus collide: improving relationships by understanding how men and women cope differently with stress by john grayLove the series and know I will gain a lot of knowledge from this one even if some of the problems don't relate to me directly.Lot of technical information about the parts of the brain and in each how they effect us.So much hormone discussions and how to achieve the highest level possible and what actions you can take to help yourself and your spouse.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
