Self-Help Relationships
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.
