A best-selling book on relationships, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus discusses how the common relationship problems between genders are a natural consequence of their psychological differences and how one can go about working around them. This edition is a translation from the original into Tamil. Summary of the Book John Gray's book explains that the problems with inter-gender relationships is a result of misunderstood psychological differences. Men and women are geared to react differently to the same situation, almost as if they were from separate planets. Men and women see acts of favours differently, and a difference of this sort usually leads to catastrophic arguments over who owes who more or bigger favours. In examining how each reacts to stress, Gray explains that Men tend to recede into a seclusion when stressed, whereas women don't understand the need for seclusion. Women prefer sharing, while men feel they'd rather spend time bowling or drinking with friends. A book which has sold several million copies so far, it has been optioned for a movie by Summit Entertainment starring Reese Witherspoon.
