For more than 20 years, the driving force in Tim Ray’s life has been to how to live a happy life – and he’s discovered that the way to do this is by waking up to the nature of reality and the way the mind works - a process that he now calls "Getting Real" or "The Art of Being Awake".

Tim says that his motivation was “inspiration” and “desperation” and it alll began during those periods of his life when he was deeply unhappy. Nothing like pain to get you going! That’s why Tim is so passionate about sharing his insights and discoveries – because he hopes they might help others.

In 1994, he began working with his mother Barbara Berger, who had arrived at many of the same insights as Tim. Since then Tim and Barbara have shared their "Getting Real" observations and tools in Danmark and many other countries. "The Awakening Human Being - A Guide to the Power of Mind", which presents the essence of their work, was released in Denmark in the Fall of 2009. Besides the Danish edition, the book has also been released in Dutch - and will soon be released in Korean and other languages.

"Mythbusting" is an important part of what Tim calls "Getting Real". By "mythbusting" Tim means to identify and investigate the thoughts and beliefs that limit us and make us unhappy – for example, in our relationships. Tim's new book "101 myths about relationships that drive us crazy - and a little about what you can do about them" will be released in August 2010 (in Danish) and offers plenty of "relationship mythbusting"!

Tim also loves a really good tale and he is the author of the novels “Starbrow - A Spiritual Adventure” and “Starwarrior - A Spiritual Thriller”. Both books combine an exciting adventure story with vital insights into the nature of consciousness and mind. The novels have so far been released in Danish, English and Dutch.

Besides writing books, Tim Ray gives lectures, workshops and courses - and private sessions.

Tim is Danish-American and lives in Copenhagen, Denmark.
