Só não digo que bati o recorde (li o livro em 1 dia) porque o recorde foi um livro da Agatha Christie que li em pouco mais de 2h, sem parar)!
Muito divertido, adorei!

Comecei a ler esse livro sem muitas expectativas e me surpreendi! Tem vários dados científicos e biológicos, de forma bastante bem humorada, que explicam as diferenças entre homens e mulheres e os conflitos que essas relações envolvem.

Well, because I am a woman, so I learned lot of things about men from this book. And I got so much explanations why sometimes women (like me) just couldn't understand men. Hahaha.. I think, men should read this book too. If they were reading this, good for them. With this book, men would much more understand us. Like my boyfriend, he finds so much familiar things (that happened between us) in this book, and he said : "I understand you better than before, cause this book gave me how-to-think

In our modern society, it is not politically correct to assume that men and women are anything but equal, and equality is defined as exactly the same. Same desires, same goals, and same needs. Allan Pease and his wife Barbara write that this is anything but how it really is. Neither sex is superior to the other, but they assert we are unquestionably different. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, our brains have been wired for different priorities based upon thousands of years of unique

This is a lively and humourous look at the differences between men and women. The authors' main thesis is that male and female brains are structurally and functionally different as a result of exposure to hormones while we're still in the womb. They say that neither gender is better... they're just different. Men tend to be better at tasks involving navigation and the manipulation of objects in three-dimensional space, while women are better at relationships and understanding people's moods.

Aaron and I read this outloud together and had a great time doing it. The authors reveal some very fascinating information about the male and female brains and the ways in which we process information and even run our bodies based on the hormones that are dished out once we're all gender labeled. Very interesting, very readable, and sometimes even funny.

I found many new idea in this book that before reading it I didn't have any idea about them. That was really interesting for me. Unfortunately I can't talk about it at work and among friends very much because some people hate the subject (to talk about the differences between man and women) and some people are afraid to give their opinion.
I have strong doubts about all of those brain scans accuracy. If anyone can prove that they were accurate I would appreciate it.

Most of what I read in this book, I have read elsewhere, but it was a nice review. The book is easy to read and quite enjoyable. I found myself chuckling at what one would normally characterize as stereotypes. The odd thing about stereotypes is that the reason they are stereotypes is due to the large element of truth they contain.
I don't necessarily agree with their claim that women are not predisposed to to math and sciences. We have a number of women engineers at work who are More...

Informative and amusing as long as you don't take it too seriously and remember that some of it is very generalized and stereotyped.
A few of the suggestions they give are downright ridiculous, for example:
"One of the best compliments a man can pay a woman is not to ogle inappropriately at another female, particularly in public, but to give his partner a simultaneous compliment. For example, 'Sure, she's got great legs, but I'll bet she doesn't have a great sense of humor. More...

First, I want to point a disclaimer toward this review: Please, PLEASE don’t go getting your panties in a twist; by no means am I putting any gender in a box or saying that men never listen or no women can read maps. If you know me, you know my belief system is very liberal and modern. But no matter who you are, you can’t deny that men and women internalize and react to the outside world in different ways. Yes, my husband is a kick a$$ cook. Yes, I mow the lawn. Yes, I can use power tools. Yes

I really liked this book. It explains, essentially, why men and women are different (kinda like 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'), and what can be done by both parties to make relationships more harmonious.
The authors are humorous and the whole text is punctuated with jokes about the differences between the sexes. The chapters are divided up nicely into short chapters of information on a particular subject, or answering a specific question. Although some of the topics are qui More...

Cukup banyak buku-buku psikologi populer yang beredar di luar sana tidak memiliki kerangka ilmiah yang nyata. Bahkan, seringkali buku-buku dengan label psikologi di toko-toko buku terdekat sebenarnya bukanlah buku psikologi, melainkan hanya sekedar buku self-help yang ditulis tidak berdasarkan kerangka ilmiah psikologi.

The husband and wife who wrote this book claim to be social scientists. Their style of writing is not in the least bit scientific.

É um livro engraçadíssimo, interessante e lê-se num ápice. A sua mensagem principal é: geneticamente, o homem é diferente da mulher e não há grande coisa a fazer. Podemos apenas tentar compreender essas diferenças e, conhecendo-as e o que as origina, viver melhor. Ajuda-nos a compreender por que os homens e as mulheres são, geralmente, de determinada forma ou porque agem de certa maneira. Encontram-se respostas a questões tão míticas como: "porque é que os homens nunca encontram nada?"

Sebuah buku psikologi populer yang sangat menarik. Buku ini mencoba menjelaskan secara ilmiah dengan bahasa sederhana bahwa pria dan wanita mempunyai perbedaan dengan alasan-alasan di balik perbedaan tersebut. Meskipun mungkin masih kalah populer dengan buku-bukunya John Gray, "Mars & Venus", overall buku ini sangat direkomendasikan untuk mengenal lebih baik lawan jenis kita :-)

If you have read "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" then this was a very similar read, apart from it was a little bit more scientific which I found interesting. It was not as comical but provided a lot of medical research and survey results which supported the claims. It helped me appreciate how different (not that I didn't know already) men and women are and even despite centuries of evolution that our genetic make up is still based on the primitive caveman behaviour.

This book is quite interesting. It deals with the differences between men and women. Yeah it sounds as a cliche, but the fact is: it is interesting. It focuses more on facts, scientific facts on male and female brains which reflect on many of their attitudes and characteristics. I wasn't interested in the relationship parts but on gaining a better understanding of the differences between them, and why they act the way they act. It was somehow eye-opening!

At first it sounded like scientific based fun book, but after the second half it got a bit confusing and contradicting, with a lot of sex and marriage issues. I could not relate to many of them, so it was not really interesting to read.
I would say I do agree generally that man and women are different and it was a good insight, that some things are genetically conditioned, but it was a lot of words for this message.
