The national bestseller in its complete form.

Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.

Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Dr. John Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling, loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners.

Now available in its complete, unabridged form, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is an invaluable tool for developing deeper and more satisfying relationships.

　　自古以来，不论中外，女性在以男权为中心的社会中都处于一种被压抑的状态。社会不曾给予女性受教育与参与各种社会意见的机会，女性的作用似乎只是一个家庭的看护者，甚且在一夫多妻的社会里可能沦为男人性需求与繁衍后代的工具。女性的聪明才智既受到压抑，在有限的社会圈子里投诉无门，只好把满腹的不平潜藏于心，做一名杜基体装下的驯服者，或是化为泼辣抗俗，为人论柄。女性为男人附属品的位置一坐几千年，所幸本世纪初女权运动因争取女性的政治投票权，加上战争期间，许多女人取代了男人的工作地位，女性才得以走出家庭，在社会建设上发挥其一压数千年的才干。呈献给中国各年龄层男女读者面前的这本书，是一本有助于完善夫妻关系、保持美满基姻，使夫妻结伴走完人生旅途的通俗性的心理自助读物。

精彩书评

Gray's "new" unabridged version of the now modern classic title on relationships offers the listener nine hours and 30 minutes of the best advice that one will ever hear about comprehending the communication styles of men and women. Gray, author of Mars and Venus in the Bedroom and Mars and Venus Together Forever, explains how a Martian (man) and a Venusian (woman) can overcome differences and build a mutually fulfilling, loving relationship. He offers advice on how to move beyond these differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and ways of behavior to promote a greater understanding between both partners. If you have only one title on interpersonal relations and communication in marriage, this should be it. Highly recommended.
