Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

I cried.
I'm 52 and in my second marriage (25yrs this time) and I've never been able to express my feelings. I'm like a caveman. This book helped me realize that I needed to learn how to express myself without yelling and making everything an argument. My wife is 90% right in how she handles the marriage because she read the book years ago. I was stubborn and a man who knew everything...a perfectionist. When I finally realized I was on my way to either a non-fully-committed marriage or another divorce. She doesn't know that I've read it but is noticing that things are changing. I can't put into words how much happier I am being able to understand and express my feelings. It's not an easy thing to get used to at all. But the author explains this in the book and I'm not as afraid to do so now. I hope that it isn't too late to make amends and show her who I really am and to do my best to make the next 25yrs be what she wants, deserves and needs. She is the best wife a man could ask for. Would love to go to a weekend seminar to continue to learn more. I will be reading all of his books now because I don't want to forget how to properly treat my wife ever again. Thank you, John Gray....thank you.

May I suggest...
This is an excellent book, in spite of how cliche the title has become. But I STRONGLY recommend the abridged version.
I am usually 100% anti-abridgement, I hate them hate them hate them. I owned the abridgement of this book on cassette before I purchased the unabridged version. It was abridged by and is read by the author - so you can be certain it still has everything in it that he felt was essential. The unabridged version is very repetitive, which is fine when you are reading but may put you to sleep if you are listening!

Take this as a coaching workbook
This is a great book for coaching on communication for men and women wanting to achieve success in their intimate relationships with one another. While it is definitely dated, as some if the other readers have pointed out, and the cadence gets a little dry at times, what you can get out of this book far outweighs that. One caveat is: one needs to have an open mind and heart and be ready to receive the information. Through different phases of growth, I would definitely have received this information differently. Here are a few things worth highlighting: - offers great insights on how men and women's thought processes differ - helps identify areas where you may be misunderstanding your partner and making them wrong - for women: helps you find more effective ways to be assertive in your relationship and communicate what you want, while making your partner feel more appreciated and engaged with giving you what you need - for men: helps you provide the displays of caring your partner needs to feel good, while getting get the space you need in the relationship and not feeling misunderstood for wanting that - communication techniques can be applied in communicating with children, coworkers or anyone of the opposite gender - if you remember that the ultimate goal is to achieve harmony, love, acceptance and understanding of one another, then you will move beyond the datedness or hokey case studies and pull out the real gems here.

A Very Helpful Guide to The Opposite sex
A GREAT TOOL!!! to becoming a great partner............ This Book will save you from many many unneeded missunderstandings in a relationship. it brings much self improfment by bringing a better understanding of how and why men and women differ. ................. The ONLY negatives are 1) the voice reading is unpleasant at times and 2) few times, it may seem repetative-due to much topic clearification. yet this is really nothing compared to all the benifets it brings........All in ALL, a must read..

Truly Comforting
I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but this book is AMAZING. I downloaded it at a time in my life where my relationship just seemed like it was falling to pieces, but both my fiance and I have been listening to it together, and we BOTH come back to each other time and again to share just how right John Gray is! It is wonderful not only to understand the opposite sex, but also to help you understand yourself and how you can express yourself to your partner. Most of all, it is so comforting to know that you aren't alone! You recognize yourself in almost every word. Repetitive? Maybe. But almost everything John Gray says is WELL worth repeating until you've got it right. I don't know what we would do without this book. It is not a fix-all if you've got serious problems, but it is a wonderful beginning to giving each other the chance that you both deserve.

Poor Quality
Poor Quality of the audio book. Did not follow the book verbatim. I downloaded the unabridged version and wanted to follow along reading the unabridged book as well; in order to follow the tone of Dr. Gray's Men are from Mars. Some parts were omitted in the audio recording that were listed in the book. The audio otherwise conveyed the point in capturing the tone and message of the book, however it was overall difficult to follow along.

Wish I knew about this book earlier
Recently divorced after 2 years of seperation. I wish my X-wife and myself read this book 2 years ago. The reasons for most of our problems, which I could not explain before are very clear now. I would have handled many situations differently only if had this knowledge then. I am confident the knowledge gained through this book will be very useful in my future relationships with the people from Venus

Men stick together
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I think the voice was monotone. It did not have the energy I expected in a motivational/inspirational book.
What was most disappointing about John Gray’s story?
It appeared that the story was for women to better understand men and it almost made me believe that women have to be the patient one and accept the "way men are"..Very seldom did he mention mutual efforts.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It was informative and it did make me think back to mistakes I may have made along my path. Many of the things he talked about, I saw in my mother and of course, sometimes we adopt things we see our parents do.

Useful, but repetive
This book is one of the popular 'must reads', and definitely has some useful concepts. However, by now this book is slightly outdated, and overly generalised. It is also unnecessarily repetive, with numerous examples and endless stories... It really could be summarised in half an hour... Men are solution focused and goal oriented, women focus on emotions and relationships... Men deal with stress by withdrawing into their caves, women by talking about their problems... Men need to learn how to patiently listen to emotional expressions without giving advice, women need learn how to accept men without trying to improve them, or complain about their behaviour. Read the summary of the book instead, and save yourself some time... If you're looking for more practical relationship help, look up John Gottman's books.

some great advice, but not so relevant today
maybe relevant a few years ago but much of the advice wouldn't transfer to today. The book makes sweeping generalisations and gender stereotypes without accounting (as it promises to) for the idiosyncrasies or role reversals that are likely to be present in people today; anyone who takes the full advice as a literal manual is likely to feel like there's something wrong with them if their behaviour doesn't adhere to how the author tells them they are likely to be. that being said there's some useful stuff in here which gave me food for thought.

I read it in my late 20’s and just listened to it on audible in my early 40’s. I had forgotten so much! I have made so many mistakes and will listen to the book every year I think. Everyone should read it. I wish I had read it earlier and more often.

Great book. This has opened my eyes.
This book has taught both my wife and I a lot about ourselves and each other. We have implemented so many strategies. I recommend a bit of this book at a time to implement it all. We will probably read this again at some point.

super
I find it super helpful this book for having a good relation(ship) with the other sex . partner or just friends, parents, sisters, brothers- lots of knowledge is applicable. I really recommend to listen!!!! (Sometimes he repeats things over and over again, but I believe he does it a purpose- so recommend not to give up on It! stick with It- so it gets deeper the knowledge!

Not even if you’re in lock down
I have over 400 books in my Audible library. I’ve read all of them, bar one - this one. I started and persevered, but eventually I decided that 3 hours was enough of my life to waste. The concept is that men and women are different. Go figure. The supposed essential differences are then reiterated, again and again - and again and again. Childish concepts, childish analogies and juvenile presentation. Presumably I wouldn’t have learnt anything new in the remaining 6 hours, so I didn’t bother. How did this book become a best seller and sell over 15 million copies? God knows. If you think 15 million people can’t be wrong, then think again. The best thing about the book? Turning it off and moving onto something else.

Disappointing
A bunch of wishy-washy honky tonk, psycho-babble & vacuous waffle. A real let down.

A must read
Changed my relationship. Easy to follow, at times repetitive, but you want that in an audiobook as it in grains aspects in your head.

Awesome book
Definitely worth the listen! I am going to buy the hard copy book so I can go back to certain chapters. I am definitely going to be a better & more understanding partner. A lot of things also has helped me understand why men act the way they do which has decreased my anxiety about certain things. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

review of men are from mars
The book has some good concepts but the audio is way too repetitive. I am certainly struggling to finish it. The audio book didn't have to be more than 3.5 to 4 hours max

Very Informative!
This book is a must if you are/or going to be in a relationship. The author goes in details on how to deal with arguments, build trust and steps to deal with past trauma. Highly recommend :)
