BACK COVER OF A BOOK
´Men are from Mars, women are from Venus´ is a curious book written by John Gray, an American author and relationship counselor. It is based on the fact that men and women seem to be from distinct planets. Both of them use the same words, share the same geographic place but each gender is familiarized to its own planet´s society, behaviour, language and customs, but not those of the other.

The lack of communication and of understanding, and what is worse, the bad interpretation of words and behaviours end up by extinguishing the love´s flames.

This self-help book teaches how to cope with men and women through communication and understanding.

`A splendid new masterpiece of John Gray....Exploring the differences between men and women you will learn how to handle everyday relationship´. The Times

`You can´t put it down because it´s very readable and a breathtaking self-help book!!´. New York Times.

`A fair amount of anecdotes and information....entirely gripping!´. Sunday Times
