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.
