Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Cheesy title, but I recommend this book to ALL couples, whether or not you're having problems. It's a really practical guide to understanding how men and women think differently. ( ) A must read for any couples. What you will learn from the book would help to set a solid understanding about the differences between men and women. Men and women are different (literally). And we have to be aware of that in order to better communicate to each other, to better understand each other and to build a long lasting relationship between husband and wife, between bf and gf. At the very least, it can be applied to communication between men and women, doesn't need to be in love relationship. What Your Mother Didn't Tell You and your father didn't know, advanced relationship skills by John Gray Wow what a fantastic book. Starts out with what men /women are like and answers all the questions in how to deal with it in today's hectic lifestyle. I found myself listening to what is happening in my life and my spouse and saying I do that and didn't realize why I was doing it and why he escapes into cave mode and why. Very enlightening and can't wait to read parts of this book together. So much of it stems on how we were raised, which adults, nurturing or not, etc Can't wait to also listen to more of these tapes. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). Gray writes a from personal experiences (his own and his patients) about the different perspectives of men and women. This book, while not profound, is a step toward understanding those differences and letting go of some issues in marriage. You will catch yourself smiling as you read. He gives a lot of examples of how communication goes awry becasue of the male-female differences. A next step up from this would be The Five Love Languages by Chapman.
Gray weet op een eenvoudige manier gecompliceerde relatiepatronen uit te leggen voor een breed publiek, zodat intimiteit, romantiek en passie blijven en zelfs meer worden, omwille van het behoud van de liefdesrelatie. Hij is open en persoonlijk in zijn boeken. De eigen relatie en de relatie van zijn ouders vormen de basis voor dit openhartige, lezenswaardige boek. Of zijn stellingen nu wel allemaal psychologisch/wetenschappelijk verantwoord zijn, kan men zich afvragen. Hij heeft wel een boodschap, die betekenisvol is voor veel mensen, die zorgzaam met elkaar om willen gaan. Het is een vondst uit een vorig boek, om mannen als Marsbewoners te duiden die graag macht hebben, en vrouwen als bewoners van een andere planeet met meer gevoel voor liefde, schoonheid en vele andere waarden. Hij vertelt het als een soort sprookje met een moraal. Dit boek is een soort vervolg op zijn eerdere boeken. Het kan tot meer begrip aansporen tussen de seksen. Met zijn vele voorbeelden en tips is het praktisch toepasbaar op vele situaties. Het is wel een Amerikaans boek; sommige dingen moet de lezer met een korreltje zout nemen. Dat hij God er ook bijhaalt, is voor Gray vanzelfsprekend. Toch een goed boek uit de categorie zelfhulp-literatuur. Belongs to Series
The rules of relationships have changed. In our generational movement toward wholeness, women want to be more than mothers and homemakers and men aspire to loving relationships rather than simply being warriors and work machines. The age-old distinctions between male and female roles have blurred, and the rules of relationships have not yet caught up, creating confusion and frustration. Our parents couldn't teach us what they didn't know. As children, the lessons we learned from the adult relationships around us did not prepare us for our current adult love interests and challenges. Today, men and women expect relationships to enhance the total quality of their lives, meeting both their practical and emotional needs. And, when the need for individual fulfillment clashes with the desire to have a lasting relationship, couples often resort to divorce. With the extensive experience gained through his seminars, Dr. Gray has discovered several keys to happiness within relationships and shares this information with listeners. Through the development of relationship skills that address contemporary needs of individuals and couples, John Gray offers practical ways to enjoy and celebrate the differences between men and women and create long-lasting, fulfilling relationships.Read by the author.
