Beyond MARS and VENUS RELATIONSHIP SKILLS FOR TODAY’S COMPLEX WORLD By John Gray For 25 years, John Gray’s MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS has helped couples deepen their intimacy and rejuvenate their love lives. Men and women, it revealed, communicate so differently we might as well be from different planets. In teaching couples to communicate, even speak each other’s language, John Gray became the best- known relationship expert in the world.

But today what it means to be a man or a woman is more nuanced and complex than ever. As the world has changed, men and women are now freer to move beyond the restrictions of traditional gender roles. And while this is in most respects a positive change, it has led to an evolution which often blurs gender lines, making communication ever more complicated.

Explaining in Beyond MARS and VENUS why gender freedom should not mean gender blindness, John Gray reminds us how men and women are still fundamentally different on a hormonal level, and how our new needs in today’s stressful and fast-paced world are also fundamentally different. That to meet our new needs – and to remain healthy and happy in the context of our relationships – we require a new kind of relationship.

Practical, insightful, and mindful of both our physical and emotional needs as men and women, in Beyond MARS and VENUS John Gray equips us to form strong, healthy relationships within which we can grow as individuals and as couples while meeting the demands of the 21st Century.

Always entertaining, informative, insightful, inspirational, and perennially relevant, just some of the topics Dr. Gray can discuss are: . How today’s evolving roles have impacted estrogen and testosterone balances in today’s men and women. What that means to our health and well-being, and what we can do naturally to bring those hormones back in balance for ourselves and our partners? . His love needs vs. her love needs. Regardless of equality in the workplace, men and women are still physically and hormonally different, making them emotionally different. What are his needs, what are hers, and how do the two best intersect and complement each other? And how do we re-assume these roles outside of the workplace? . The causes and impact of stress. And how stress impacts our physical health, our emotional well- being, our balance, and our relationships. . Estrogen levels in women. Testosterone in men. Why estrogen is important, what happens when it is in short supply, and how to rebalance female hormones without hormone replacement therapy. And did you know that testosterone levels in men are directly impacted by the interaction a man has within his relationship? . Gender neutrality. It’s a hot topic, with stores even doing away with separate toy sections for boys and for girls. In the ever-evolving discussion of gender neutrality, what’s real and what’s not? . Why couples break up. In today’s world, even a pledge of ‘til death do us part’ often lasts for only a few years. Why do couples break up? And what can really help keep them together? . How to be heard in a relationship – and in the workplace. For different reasons, neither men nor women respond well to complaints. So how do we get our message across without complaining? How do we get ourselves heard and get our needs met? . And so much more… For more on John Gray, or to book him for your show or an interview, contact: Antoinette Kuritz [email protected] 858-467-1978
