Rating:  Summary: The worst book I've read in years Review: No mincing words: this is a total piece of trash. There are no original thoughts here, no specific or concrete advice, and no sense of logic or literary ability whatsoever. Instead, you will find long passages of rambling, redundant and seemingly random musings, astoundingly ill-informed re-writings of history and medical wisdom used to "prove" theories that are specious at best...and an endless river of self-promotional spewings for Mr. Gray's numerous and highly over-marketed other works. And don't be fooled by the title. There are no male/female "Mars/Venus" pearls of wisdom here (gender issues are barely even mentioned). The only thing scarier than the way the author is trying to keep his shaky career alive with this tripe is the fact that some folks actually do seem to be taking it seriously.
Rating:  Summary: An Inspiration Review: This book is great, no matter what your stage of life. If you are ready to change your life and learn more about yourself and others, this book was meant for you. Miracles are possible.
Rating:  Summary: A thoughtful book on living life Review: This book is, in many ways, an expansion of 'How to Get what You Want and Want What You Have'. It a general book about life and living. The basic message is that being independent and self sufficient -emotionally, mentally and physically- is the way to live life, and the techinques, principles and insights in this book help us do so.I thought the discussions about spirituality are among the most beautiful, open minded and thoughtful I've read anywhere. John Gray looks at all religons and simply points out the common universal themes in them all. All he basically says is they're all good. I guess those who have been severely brainwashed into believing their particular religon is 'the (only) way' may be upset with this, but such people are usually threatened by anything that's different. In short, this is a very insightful book. It will expand the way you look at your life and living and contains valuable information that anyone can use to improve their life.
Rating:  Summary: Great insights and wisdom for everyday living Review: Unlike John Gray's other books which are focused on specific topics, Practical Miracles For Mars And Venus is aimed at improving one's life in general. It's a kind of 'How to' manual for life. The ideas, concepts and information in this book are truly clever and insightful. There is a lot of insight and wisdom that anyone can use to improve all aspects of their life. You can't help but think "That is so clever. How did he think of that?" while reading Practical Miracles. Read this book, it will definetly improve your life.
