简历
约翰·格雷是美国婴儿潮时间的人物，曾经响往过东方秘术，并有过两段婚姻：他曾与另一位自助作者Barbara De Angelis结婚，但二人于1984年离婚。现时他与Bonnie结婚，并育有三位女儿：Lauren、Julie及Shannon。
他是911事件真相调查声明的联署人之一。
教导
在格雷的著作里，他主张男性和女性在心理方面有著先天的分别，所以若要保持两性关系的和谐，只能够坦然接受两者的分别，而不是千方百计的想要消除这分别。
反对观点认为：格雷把人性的心理过份简化为stereotypes that fail to adequately describe many people.
学历
离开高中之后，约翰·格雷在休斯敦的天主教圣多默大学及德萨斯大学就读，但未有在这两家学校得到任何学位颁发。 After high school he attended St. Thomas University and the University of Texas, but did not receive degrees from these institutions. 之后他在瑞士以一位印度教僧侣的身份生活了9年，并在当地修链玛哈礼斯超觉静坐式瑜伽。He lived as a Hindu monk for nine years in Switzerland and studied with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He received diplomas called BA and MA in "Creative Intelligence" from the Maharishi European Research University.
博士资历与哥伦比亚太平洋大学
约翰·格雷在他的著作都冠上博士的称号。根据他的个人网站，他的哲学博士博士学位于1997年在哥伦比亚太平洋大学(Columbia Pacific University)取得，而这家“大学”在2001年被美国加州的消费者事务部(Department of Consumer Affairs)指称“给多位学生授于超额的学分”("awarded excessive credit... to many students")及“未能符合颁授哲学博士的多项条件”("failed to meet various requirements for issuing Ph.D. degrees")而勒令停业。虽然在约翰·格雷取得其博士资历时，哥伦比亚太平洋大学仍然是加州合法的颁授学位机构，但比照他的过往学历，不禁使人对于他的博士资历产生怀疑。就此问题，约翰·格雷未有发表过任何解说。

Early life and education
Gray was born in Houston, Texas. After graduating high school, Gray attended University of St. Thomas and the University of Texas without receiving any degrees. He did receive a bachelors and masters degrees in creative intelligence, though sources vary on whether these degrees were received from Maharishi European Research University (MERU) in Switzerland or from Maharishi International University in Iowa.
Gray received his Ph.D. from the unaccredited institution, Columbia Pacific University (CPU), after completing a correspondence course. CPU was closed by California court order in 2000. The court ruled that the State of California recognizes CPU degrees earned before June 25, 1997, as "legally valid" for use in the state, but other states, such as Texas, criminalize the use of CPU degrees. This time period above included Gray?s degree which he received in 1982.

Gray wrote a nationally syndicated column with thirty million readers. His column appeared in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, New York Daily News, New York Newsday, The Denver Post, and the San Antonio Express-News.

Criticism
Critics have accused him of over-simplifying human psychology into stereotypes that fail to adequately describe many people. Communication scholars have published research-based rebuttals to Gray?s claims. Other scholars, such as Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics, have also written research-based books that challenge some of Gray?s claims.
Personal life
Gray was the fifth of seven children born to a pair of Stanford University graduates; his father was a Texan oilman and his mother was co-owner of a popular Houston spiritual bookstore.
After high school, Gray followed the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation technique and for nine years he was a celibate monk, and worked as the Maharishi?s assistant.
Gray divorced fellow self-help author Barbara De Angelis in 1984. Gray married his current wife, Bonnie in 1986 and they have three daughters.
