How we made Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

John Gray: 'I grew up with five brothers and then became a monk - so women were from another planet'

I was a monk in the 1970s, working as an assistant to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. My world was meditation and yoga, but my brother was bipolar, and meditation didn't work for him. So I studied psychology to try to help him, eventually becoming a therapist.
