Author Name: John Gray

Imagine that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. One day long ago, the Martians were looking through their telescopes and discovered the Venusians. In a flash, the Venusians awakened feelings the Martians had never known. They fell in love and quickly invented spaceships and flew to Venus. The Venusians opened their arms and welcomed the Martians. Instinctively, they knew this day would come. Their hearts opened wide to a love they had never felt before. The love between them was magical and they were so glad to be together that even though they were from different worlds, they found joy despite their differences. They spent months learning about each other, exploring and appreciating their different needs, preferences and behavioral patterns. Then they decided to travel to Earth. Everything was amazing and beautiful, but the effect of Earth's atmosphere got the better of them and they woke up, each one suffering from a certain kind of amnesia, elective amnesia. They forgot that they were from different worlds. They forgot what they had learned about their differences, and ever since that day, men and women have been at odds. Based on years of successful counseling for individuals and couples, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now considered a modern classic, this phenomenon has helped men and women truly recognize their differences and understand how to communicate in a way that doesn't provoke conflict and creates intimacy at every opportunity.
