John Gray is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. USA Today listed his book as one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter-century. In hardcover, it was the #1 bestselling book of the 1990s. Dr. Gray’s books are translated into approximately 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller.

Dr. Gray has written over 20 books. His most recent book is Beyond Mars and Venus. His Mars/Venus book series has forever changed the way men and women view their relationships.

John helps men and women better understand and respect their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communication techniques with healthy, nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry for lasting health, happiness and romance.

His many books, blogs and free online workshops at MarsVenus.com provide practical insights to improve relationships at all stages of life and love. An advocate of health and optimal brain function, he also provides natural solutions for overcoming depression, anxiety, and stress to support increased energy, libido, hormonal balance and better sleep.

He has appeared repeatedly on Oprah, as well as on The Dr. Oz Show, TODAY, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, and others. He has been profiled in Time, Forbes, USA Today, and People. He was also the subject of a three-hour special hosted by Barbara Walters.

John Gray lives in Northern California, where for 34 years he happily shared his life with his beautiful wife, Bonnie, until her passing in 2018. They have three grown daughters and four grandchildren. He is an avid follower of his own health and relationship advice.

The last time I talked to John Gray — author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — we had an incredible conversation about his spiritual journey... before we turned on the microphone! So, when I had a chance to sit down with John at the Health Optimisation Summit, I wasn’t going to miss my second opportunity to record some of these stories. 

From partying at Woodstock, to hanging out with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to participating in an energy healing practice that saved someone from a fresh cobra bite, we explore the twists and turns of John’s spiritual journey and how it has influenced his work on sex and relationships.

And there’s a lot more overlap there than you might think. Because, whether you’re seeking to nurture your personal relationship or do the inner work to foster the relationship with yourself, your goal is ultimately the same: transformation, peace, and fulfillment.

This is a peek into the life of a man who has helped thousands of people radically transform their lives, and it offers a lot of insight into how anyone can apply these spiritual principles and universal truths in really practical ways.

  • How The Beatles deeply influenced John’s journey, including the meditation practice that he teaches today

CANDOR. Having these long and deep conversations requires an intense amount of focus, and sometimes I try to use coffee to help me stay alert. But sometimes I get a little too hyped — and, honestly, it’s because I’m straight up ODing on caffeine (you can learn more about your relationship with caffeine, you can check out Candor’s Caffeine Type Quiz). So I was stoked to find Candor, who make this delicious Coconut Matcha Nootropic Latte. It still has a little bit of caffeine, but combined with ingredients like green tea l-theanine, which is clinically proven to boost attention and mood when paired with caffeine. You can use code ‘LIFESTYLIST’ to get 10% off your new favorite coffee at ChooseCandor.com.
