How does anyone sell 50 million copies of a book

The only answer John Gray can come up with to explain the success of his book “Men Are From  Mars, Women Are From Venus” is to say that he must have hit on a very needed subject. But he was already convinced of that before he wrote the book. He’d been teaching the Mars and Venus principles for years in seminars and live events and people kept urging him to put the truths into a book. When he finally did he only expected it to serve as a tool to interest people in his live events. What he discovered was that the book itself could change lives and heal relationships. Listen to hear John’s thoughts on his own success and the many stories of people’s lives that have been changed, on this episode of Crank It Up.

Why do men have such a hard time moving to a deep place, relationally?

John Gray has done extensive reading and research on many of the differences between men and women, and while nothing he’s come up with is a one-size-fits-all fact (meaning, not all men or all women are the same), what he has discovered are some general truths that help us understand the unique differences between the sexes. One of those is that men are hormonally wired to move into a deep relational place only after certain things happen. Can you guess what they are? Listen to this episode to find out what John’s discovered.

There may be more to your sexual struggles than meets the eye.

While things like communication, past offenses or hurts, and personal history all play a role in the sexual problems people experience, there’s also an unseen world of hormones and body and brain chemistry that heavily impact issues like sexual desire. In this episode of Crank It Up, with David T.S. Wood, John Gray dives deep into some of the physical reasons both men and women may experience difficulties sexually… and he gives some great advice on how to find and understand the source of the issue and make corrections. You should be sure to listen to this one.

Our stress-filled world takes its toll – emotionally and sexually.

It’s not a common connect we make, but stress has a powerful impact on our bodies, which in turn impacts things that are hormonally based, things like desire, attitude, willingness, etc. It’s no wonder couples across the globe are experiencing problems in their relationships on a number of levels. In this candid conversation David T.S. Wood asks relationship and sex expert John Gray to unpack some of the effects stress is having on modern couples and to share some tips on how they can begin addressing the difficulties they face.
