John Gray, Ph.D. is author of the phenomenal best-selling book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (HarperCollins, May 1992), which has sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and millions more in 40 different languages around the world.
Dr. Gray has also authored Mars and Venus in the Bedroom (HarperCollins, April 1995), Mars and Venus Together Forever (Harper Perennial, March 1996, a revised second edition of What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and Your Father Didn't Know), Mars and Venus in Love (HarperCollins, June 1996), Mars and Venus on a Date (HarperCollins, June 1997), Mars and Venus Starting Over (HarperCollins, June 1998), and Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: Book of Days, (HarperCollins, October 1998).
His book, How To Get What You Want and Want What You Have: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Personal Success (HarperCollins, January, 1999), is a departure from the male/female relationships theme of his Mars-Venus series.
The book offers a simple yet dynamic approach to creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life by working through self-defeating emotional blocks and connecting with one's spiritual source through daily meditation in order to achieve personal success. Dr. Gray's next book is on the topic of positive parenting and will be published in September of 1999, entitled Children Are From Heaven.
An internationally recognized expert in the fields of communications and relationships, John Gray's unique focus is assisting men and women in understanding, respecting, and appreciating their differences. For more than twenty years, he has conducted public and private seminars to thousands of participants.
In his highly acclaimed books, audiotapes and videotapes, as well as in his enlightening lectures and stimulating weekend seminars, Gray entertains and inspires audiences with his practical insights and easy-to-use communication techniques that can be immediately applied to enrich relationships.

Quotes by John Gray ...
"When a man can listen to a woman's feelings without getting angry and frustrated, he gives her a wonderful gift. He makes it safe for her to express herself. The more she is able to express herself, the more she feels heard and understood, and the more she is able to give a man the loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, and encouragement that he needs." -- John Gray
"Men need to remember that women talk about problems to get close and not necessarily to get solutions." -- John Gray
"Love is magical, and it can last, if we remember our differences." -- John Gray
