Of Martians and Venusians

The book has been around for quite a bit but I never really looked at it one way or another. I picked it up recently and is proving to be an interesting read. We may love ourselves so much that we often would want people close to us, people whom we love and care about to be more like us. This is a pitfall and can very quickly sour relationships with those that often matter the most. It is important to realize and accept that two people are different. It is even more important to realize that two people of the opposite sex have very different wants from life and that they look at the same things quite differently. It is important to be aware of this and understand where the generic differences lie. This will not only eliminate some of the needless stress, but you will start to enjoy your interactions even more. This book seems to shed light on the how men and women are different, and how they have different expectations, different philosophies, different everything(well, not everything, but certainly many things).
