Why Mars & Venus Collide: Improving Relationships by Understanding how Men and Women Cope Differently with Stress by John Gray helps men and women understand stress triggers. "Mars and Venus often collide because they fail to appreciate the stress their partners face or understand their means of coping. Drawing on research that explains how physiology and biochemistry trigger different responses to stress in women and men, Gray analyzes typical conflicts and how they can be defused. When a man, after a stressful day, wants to veg out in front of the TV, he is not rejecting his wife. Rather, he is replenishing his depleted testosterone. And when a woman wants to talk about her day, she is not being a nag. It's just her way of replenishing her cuddle hormone, oxytocin." - from Booklist and PW reviews.February Services News
