When I do my seminars, people are rolling in the aisles laughing. John Gray, the man who wants to bridge the interplanetary gulch between the men and women. For those of you living on another planet, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus attempts to explain the classic disconnect between the sexes with the help of a little science fiction. As the metaphor goes, men come from Mars, where the inhabitants are goal-oriented and need respect. When faced with stress, they withdraw into a cave to heal in silence.
Women are native to Venus, where they value communication and beauty.
They need to be cherished. When the Martians and Venusians meet, it's true love. But they travel to Earth and soon forget their origins. Instead of appreciating their differences, they try to change one another. Some call it psychobabble.
