Book reviews: Men Are From Mars Woman From Venus, by Dr. John Grey

by Budianto Dermawan Ng

Created on: April 20, 2008

This book was not only written based on idea of John Gray (and not Grey) Ph. D. alone, the best contribution to make the book becomes a good one is from his wife and his experiences.

Before complaining on this book, you should read on his former book of "Men and Women in A Relationship". Read the preface of this book about how he started his life, and you will change the opinion about him and his writing. This book is the very core and the pioneer for the next titles concerning the Mars and Venus. Besides, it's not his own inspiration, Bonnie her wife had given the half polished for the book to be an equal and balance in the subject's composition.

John did wrote the book in a quite many of repeating s.t. way, this is to link back the core, to remind us back in which branch he mentioned about. Mostly what he wrote is what I found nearby my environment. The book itself had opened my eyes of what was still blurred in those past times, before I read it.

In this book, we can find the core if we really read it with carefully. A friend of mine said this book is so girlie, but he always complained to me about his girl never understood of what he wants. Briefly, he cannot accept the appearance on the idea. I told him to chew on the meaning in the book, not to follow it. Because every details had a different unique way, what we need is to seek the core of what John tried to mention it out.

John Gray had tried to describe the book in universally way at first, but make a division lately of a man and a woman into several division of personality in this book. Lately, he spread out the book into several division, on a date, in bed, in office, and a specific auditory explanatory of communication in Mars and Venus Together Forever.

That's it, the easy way. Isn't it better if the book is easier to be comprehended rather than you read on a complicated book which more like a mystery solving book?

In the middle of the book, he mentioned about the trick for a man and a woman. This is again, we cannot apply similarly to what he said, because we need to adapt to get the best mixture to our condition. What we need is to learn, to chew, and to understand, then to apply it for us.

John had been listed in "21th century 1000 best men on Earth" book.

Overall, John had described the book in stylish metaphorically way. Even it looks simple or "dummy" stuff, but if you really read it with carefully, his point is limitless. He just needs to bring you into one occasion, and you decide by your own supposed
