Jeannette J. (TSarien) reviewed Why Mars and Venus Collide: Improving Relationships by Understanding How Men and Women Cope Differently with Stress on + 55 more book reviews
WARNING!
If you are a career-oriented female, looking for a REAL man, and not interested in raising your own husband this book IS NOT FOR YOU!
I'm sorry for Mr. Gray, but I do NOT want to be babysitting my partner and excusing his behaviour because 'he is hardwired to be different' (ch. 2, pp 31). I stopped reading when I reached page 123 and the "when he has one clear thing to do, without a lot of decisions to make that involve his partner, a man is energized". I want my partner to be a PART-ner, not an other-ner!
In this book Mr Gray extrapolates that testosterone vs oxytocin is what makes conflicts arise between the sexes. We are more that the sum of our hormones.
About the structure of the book, I particularly despise the 'skim' style, which puts the condensed line of what is written right in the middle of the paragraph, so if you are not interested in reading the whole thing, just read the snippets.
One last thing. The references in the last chapter mostly belong to sources that are frowned upon by the medical community.
You have been warned.
