New softcover book, 292 pages.

A practical guide to improving communication and getting what you want in your relationships.

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.

Using these metaphors to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts betwen men and women, Dr John Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counselling of couples and individuals, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and modes of behaviour to promote a greater understanding between individual partners.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of men and women to understand each other better. It is an invaluable tool for developing deeper and more satisfying relationships.

About the author:

Dr John Gray (born 1951 in Houston, Texas) is an American author on relationships and personal growth. He is best known for his 1992 book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and 15 other "pop psychology" books offering relationship advice. His books teach that men and women are intrinsically different in their biology and psychology. He writes that harmony between the sexes is achieved by recognizing and accepting these differences rather than trying to erase them. His books have sold over 45 million copies world-wide.

After high school he attended University of St. Thomas (a liberal arts college) and the University of Texas, but did not receive degrees from these institutions. He lived as a Hindu monk for nine years in Switzerland and studied with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He received a BA and MA in "Creative Intelligence" from the Maharishi International University in Iowa. John Gray received his PhD from Columbia Pacific University after completing a correspondence course in 1982.

An expert in the field of communication, John Gray’s focus is to help men and women understand, respect and appreciate their differences in both personal and professional relationships. In his many books, CD’s, DVD’s, tapes, workshops and seminars, he provides practical tools and insights to effectively manage stress and improve relationships at all stages and ages by creating the brain chemistry of health, happiness and lasting romance. His latest book, Why Mars & Venus Collide – which recently reached the Amazon top one hundred - reveals how men and women can improve relationships by understanding how they cope differently with stress.

John Gray has appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, CBS Morning Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The View, Politically Incorrect, Larry King and others. He has been profiled in Newsweek, Time, Forbes, USA Today, TV Guide, People and New Age Journal, among others.
