MAHASOMA
About this episode

Up next on the Mahasoma Podcast we have author, speaker and relationship coach John Gray. He is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are From Venus. It was the #1 best-selling book in the 90’s and one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter century. John joins us on the Mahasoma podcast to talk about the world of intimate relationships.

What we talk about

  • Role-mate vs. soul-mate relationships
  • Understanding hormones and behaviour differences in men and women
  • Why so many women are unhappy in the modern world
  • Why women attract needy men
  • The intersection of meditation and relationship work
  • Understanding the female menstrual cycle (both for women and men)
  • How we can engage in certain behaviours at certain times of the menstrual cycle to increase hormonal balance, sexual intimacy and happiness
