Summary of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Short summary
The fundamental reason couples fight and have all sorts of problems in their union is that they don't understand each other. Males and females have psychological differences as much as they are different in physical appearance. Until we come to understand and appreciate those differences, we will keep having problems with each other. This summary will grant you access to what those differences are and how you can leverage them to build an intimate and satisfying relationship with your partner.

Owing to this, in 1969, he began a nine-year association with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi before he kicked off his career as an author and expert relationship counselor. John Gray, Ph.D., published the best-selling book Men Are from Mars; Women Are from Venus in 1992.
“Men are motivated when they feel needed, while women are motivated when they feel cherished.” ~ John Gray, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

Conflicts in relationships are often a product of simple misunderstandings, which lead to complex and sometimes detrimental problems that ultimately destroy the relationship if not handled properly. Dr. Gray insists that conflicts in relationships are typical, and they should not create a rift between the couples but should be an avenue for growth.
With humans, conflicts are pretty standard, but we can find resolution through dialogue.
What causes conflict, and how do you avoid or manage them? The key to avoiding conflict is transparent and honest communication. To have this kind of communication is first to understand yourself, know your love language, pet peeves, and what you want in a relationship. After this personal assessment, you can move on to understanding your partner.
Conflict exists because people refuse to approach discussions as opportunities to grow. Instead, they are always in attack/defense mode, only thinking about their point of view. This mindset always causes the other party to see the discussion as an attack and respond accordingly.

Couples need to create room for discussion and reduce the occurrence of arguments instead.
The only way to control conflict is to opt for open dialogue if we cannot avoid it. Among couples, the conversation must be with love and attention to the furtherance of the relationship. There is a chance for teams to misplace the priority of a discussion. This confusion is what turns conversations into messy fights.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
