If you are human being that interact with other human beings this is a book that should be in every household and that should be taught in school and in every psychology lesson and university exists.

The deep understanding psychology and why we do what we do and why people think in a different way and how to communicate effectively. It’s not just about communication but it’s the reasons behind it the motives and intent and understanding how men going to the caves and women are emotional thinkers and men are logical creatures. How women are from Venus men are from Mars. This book is incredible and it has changed my DNA of understanding in psychology for others and hopefully will benefit my life and helped each other for the rest of my life as I do not wanna mention much about the book because I don’t want to spoil it for the others that read it. This is a true hidden gem that needs to be nationalised and deployed in every educational institution that exists on this planet Earth. If you want to get a girlfriend or boyfriend or married or if you’re planning on getting married I want a future relationship on into a relationship not just friends or family if you try to take it a step further this book is gods gift I’m telling you it is the best book that I’ve ever read in my life.

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!

John Gray’s 1992 mega-hit remains a timeless primer on gendered communication in relationships. Its metaphors — men as rubber bands, women as waves — are unforgettable, and its insights into emotional needs still resonate with many. That said, it’s limited by its binary lens and doesn’t reflect the emotional complexity of modern relationships. Still, as a starting point for learning how to speak your partner’s “language,” this book has earned its place in relationship libraries around the world. Read it with curiosity, not dogma — and pair it with modern attachment or trauma-informed resources for a more complete picture.

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!

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 :)

Over hyped and repetitive. A much more stimulating - and amusing - read is ‘why men don’t listen and women can’t read maps’.

Hace muchos años que leí el libro en inglés. Me gustó tanto que lo compré en español para regalar a una amiga. A ella le ha sorprendido y gustado aprender las diferencias que hay entre hombres y mujeres de una manera tan clara y divertida . Es un libro estupendo que hay que leer y guardar.

great book, really helped to understand my wife. It was a lot of fun to read and i am still using it !
