Mars and Venus Starting Over A Practical Guide for Finding Love Again after a Painful Breakup Divorce or the Loss of a Loved One
Author: John Gray

Starting over after a painful breakup, a divorce, or the loss of a loved one can be the most challenging experience of a lifetime. Drawing on insights derived from twenty-eight years of counseling thousands of men and women in making wise choices in the process of healing their hearts, John Gray has once again written a groundbreaking book--one ... more »that abundantly provides guidance and comfort to those who find themselves single again. With the processes John Gray has developed in counseling and leading workshops, Mars & Venus Starting Over opens the door to finding a rich and fulfilling lifetime of love once again. The first section of the book addresses the part of the healing process that is basically the same for men and women. Dealing with the pain of a breakup or loss is not easy, and John Gray makes it clear that although the pain of loss is an inevitable part of life, suffering is not. He explains that the heart often lags behind the mind, that we must experience our grief in order to become whole again. He compassionately shows us how to find forgiveness and explains how good endings make good beginnings. Although the healing process is fundamentally the same, starting over on Venus is often different from starting over on Mars. Women tend to push love away to avoid getting hurt again. On the other hand, men often get involved right away, but have trouble committing. Part two, "Starting Over on Venus," explores the twenty-three common challenges women face, which include the new pressures of dating, glorifying our past, staying stuck in grief, overromanticizing, women who do too much, fear of intimacy, and putting children first. Part three, "Starting Over on Mars," deals with sex on the rebound, work, money, and love, living out fantasies, holding back, being in a hurry, bigger is better, and self-destructive tendencies--to name a few of the land mines men face on the road to healing. Mars & Venus Starting Over will inspire you to rise to the challenge of healing your heart and to move on to find an even greater love. You will fulfill your soul's deepest purpose--to love and to be loved. There is hope! You will find love again...John Gray has helped millions of men and women develop better relationships with his phenomenal New York Times bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. Now he turns his attention to the millions of people who find themselves single again and compassionately presents a process for healing a broken heart. Here are just some of the issues and challenges John Gray covers in this supportive and practical guide to becoming whole again: Emotiontal Lag TimeGrieving the Loss of LoveGetting UnstuckGood Endings Make Good BeginningsThe Feeling Better ExerciseFinding ForgivenessSaying Good-bye with LoveThe 90-10 PrincipleProcessing Our Hot Spots101 Ways to Heal Our HeartsStarting Over Date Around, but don't Sleep AroundGlorifying Our PastOverromanticizingFocusing on the NegativeWho Needs a Man?Women Who Do Too MuchFear of IntimacyMy Children Need MeAll or NotingStarting Over on MarsSex on the ReboundWork, Money, and LovePositive AddictionsWe Don't Have to Stop LovingSoul Mates Are Not PerfectCan't Live With Them and Can't Live Without ThemHolding BackBigger is BetterSelf-Destructive Tendencies
