Synopsis
A Spanish translation of the best-selling guide to relations between the sexes. Gray argues that men and women have very different perceptions, both of themselves and of those around them, as a result of gender. The author stresses that acknowledging these inherent differences greatly enhances our dealings with members of the opposite sex.

Publisher's Note
Erase una vez unos marcianos y unas venusinas que se conocieron, se enamoraron, y fueron felices porque respetaron y aceptaron sus diferencias. Luego vinieron a la Tierra y olvidaron que pertenecian a diferentes planetas. . . El doctor John Gray utiliza esta divertida metafora para ilustrar los conflictos entre los hombres y las mujeres. Explica como surgen los malentendidos entre los sexos, que dificultan la comunicacion y deterioran las relaciones afectivas. Propone un esquema original y soluciones inteligentes para superar los enojos, las discusiones interminables, y el sufrimiento innecesario. "Los hombres son de Marte, las mujeres son de Venus" constituye una herramienta muy valiosa para lograr relaciones mas profundas y satisfactorias. Desde su aparacion ha figurado en los primeros puestos de las listas de best sellers de los medios mas prestigiosos de los Estados Unidos, donde permanece desde hace mas de dos anos.
The phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller (2.5 million copies sold) on how to improve communication between the sexes.
Industry Reviews
Gray's thesis? That men (Martians) and women (Venusians) have to accept that they're impossibly distinct beasties before they can establish a workable intimacy. Once we get a handle on the Mars/Venus concept, Gray focuses his Hubble telescope on more nebulous theories, such as 'Men Are Like Rubber Bands' and 'Women Are Like Waves.' (Don't ask.) And in a couple of Ralph Kramden-like asides, Gray advises women to give their Martians plenty of stomping room or bang, zoom, they're going to the moon. 'When a man is in a negative state,' Gray suggests, 'treat him like a passing tornado and lie low.' And: 'Never go into a man's cave or you will be burned by the dragon!' Yikes. <BR>Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
