John Gray: Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice

John Gray, Ph.D., the bestselling relationship author of all time, returns with an illuminating new public television special based on his 17th book, Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice (late January 2010). “I spent the last 15 years teaching couples how to make small shifts in their behavior that would stimulate an abundance of the hormones of desire and love with the consequence of a healthier, happier life at any age,” said Gray. “What I discovered is the key for turning Venus-Mars relationships into the fountain of youth.” Distributed by WLIW21 in association with WNET.ORG, John Gray: Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice will air nationwide on public television stations beginning February 2010 (check local listings).

Acting out humorous relationship situations everybody can identify with, Gray demonstrates how the often frustrating differences between men and women can be used to stimulate healthy hormones – testosterone in men and oxytocin in women – that help control the unhealthy hormone cortisol to manage stress levels and body weight, stabilize blood sugar, and inspire desire. Explaining how men and women can make small lifestyle shifts, Gray introduces natural “super-oxytocin producers” – super-foods, super-exercise and super-sleep – that boost love and romance while supporting physical well-being. John Gray: Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice conveys valuable information and simple, specific tools that can easily be incorporated into any lifestyle, at any age. Filmed August 2009 during a live lecture at the Chan Center in Vancouver, Canada, Gray is at his energetic best, educating while fully entertaining.

In 1992, John Gray changed the way we look at male-female relationships forever, with his groundbreaking book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, one of the best-selling books of the last decade. Since then, Gray has authored 16 bestsellers and sold over 40 million Mars Venus books in more than 45 languages throughout the world. He has released highly acclaimed CDs and DVDs, and writes a weekly nationally syndicated column, also published by outlets worldwide.

An internationally recognized expert in the fields of communication and relationships, Gray’s unique focus is assisting men and women in understanding, respecting and appreciating their differences. A Certified Family Therapist for over 15 years, Gray has been conducting personal growth seminars for over 30 years, is a popular speaker on the national and international lecture circuit, and often appears on television and radio programs to discuss his work. Appearances include Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The View, Politically Incorrect, Larry King Live, and other popular shows. He has been profiled in Newsweek, Time, Forbes, USA Today, TV Guide, and People, among scores of other major media, and was the subject of a rare three-hour special hosted by Barbara Walters.

    Interesting Article Mentioning John Gray

    (eWebWire.com) January 29, 2010 — WORLD WIDE WEB, January 29, 2010 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — Nevada ranks 54th in its rate of child support collection. They have consistently ranked near the bottom of the nation in payment collections. To say their child support enforcement system is broken is not accurate. It’s beyond abysmal. Nevada also hugged the bottom of state rankings in establishing paternity for children in support cases, obtaining court orders for support payments and running cost-effective collections and enforcement programs.

    Assemblywoman Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, called Nevada’s national standings for child support collection “pathetic.” Children in the state are not receiving the money they are entitled to by court order, Buckley said, which means they may be deprived of things as basic as medical care and shelter. “It is frustrating for all the custodial parents, we are worse than Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.”
    One mother has spoken out claiming that Nevada ranks so low because they only target African- Americans and Latinos. Ms Collins a single mom of three feels many of these fathers are out of work and unable to pay so any enforcement measures are useless. In her case the father of her three children is a white male, gainfully employed in an Executive Position, owns a sprawling 2 acre ranch in Las Vegas and drives a Bentley. In spite of this Ms. Collins claims that the Nevada District Attorney has made little effort to collect not only the current child support but the $22,794.12 in arrears the father of her children owes. Ms Collins further added that Nevada does not pursue white offenders and goes out of their way to keep white deadbeat dads out of jail.

    Nevada has a number of tools to collect child support arrears. Bank accounts can be levied to collect past due support, wages can be garnished, property can be levied even a notice of the delinquency could be filed with the IRS who would divert any income tax refund to the DA to apply to the debt. Nevada can also suspend a driver’s license due to unpaid child support or even suspend an occupational license if a parent owes child support.
    In spite of this Ms Collins claims none of these enforcement methods are used to collect child support for her children. “I have a court ordered wage assignment but it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.” The father of her three children Richard Bernstein is the CEO and President of Mars Venus Coaching. Ms Collins added that although Mr. Bernstein testified in a Los Angeles court that the company is owned by John Gray the world famous author of “Men are from Mars Women are from Venus” the DA refuses to take any action against Mr. Gray for failing to honor a court ordered wage assignment. Ms. Collins believes Nevada has done nothing because Mr. Bernstein along with Mr. Gray are both white.

    Ms Collins pointed out that the Nevada DA went after Dr. Conrad Murray (Michael Jackson’s personal physician) with a vengeance claiming that he’d shown a pattern of failing to abide by child support orders. At the time Dr. Murray owed just $13,311.47 for missed child support payments. Ms Collins believes if Dr. Murray was white it would be no different from the father of her children and further stated “They only pursued him because he is African American. I am owed over $22,000.00 in back child support, Mr. Bernstein was previously convicted in a Los Angeles court for failing to pay child support that definitely shows a pattern but because he is white it puts him above the law in Nevada. Ms Collins also added my children deserve better they are entitled to the same rights as everyone else regardless of the color of their skin. If their father worked for a company owned by a minority the DA would definitely pursue that company to make sure that they honored a wage assignment for child support.
    Ms Collins conveyed that she provided the Nevada District Attorney with copies of press releases for Mars Venus Coaching posted all over the internet listing Mr. Bernstein’s name as being responsible for selling franchises in China, Poland, Nevada and Arizona in just six weeks. In spite of this Ms Collins said her children failed to receive a penny in court ordered child support during that period.

    This may very well be the reason Nevada consistently ranks near the bottom of the nation in payment collection. Last year the state collected about 52 percent of the payments owed. The national average is about 61 percent. A Nevada state task force is looking at ways to improve the collection of delinquent child support payments after a legislative audit found deficiencies. A good start might be looking into why Nevada is not pursuing white deadbeat parents that are gainfully employed, have assets and show a pattern of failing to pay support after being convicted.

    I disagree with this article regarding child support in Nevada. My son is “white” and his ex wife along with his son lives in California, therefore the “child support” court order was transferred by the Calfiornia District Attorney to the Nevada District Attorneys office. My son is ordered to pay directly to Nevada D.A. with wage garnishment. He is in construction therefore currently unemployed and the D.A. takes the support directly from his unemployment check. In Nevada persons paying support are required to make court appearances every few months just to be validated by the D.A. they are paying support and I have heard many cases where child lives in California and Husband living in Nevada and paying support via garnishment to D.A. And in Nevada the employer must follow the law and garnish if ordered to do so and drivers license can even be suspended.

    It is impossible for me to believe Ms. Collins is not receiving cooperation from the Nevada District Attorney.

    Rich Bernstein has been arraigned on CRIMINAL CHARGES for perjury and failing to pay court ordered child support. Rich Bernstein is set to go to trial at the end of this month. A lien has been filed against Rich Bernstein’s home in Nevada for child support arrears and a request to have Rich Bernstein’s drivers license suspended has been submitted by the Nevada District Attorney.

    It appears the CEO of Mars Venus Coaching will have to take some time off from his busy schedule promoting John Gray Mars Venus and family values to deal with his own legal problems. Let this be a lesson to John Gray and Mars Venus that instead of parading around talking the talk you’ve got to practice what you preach.

    This is just a prime example of how John Gray and his CEO don’t give a darn about children in spte of all their books, seminars and coaching.
