About Neal Donald Walsch

NEALE DONALD WALSCH is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now famous Conversation with God.
The Conversations with God series of books that emerged from those encounters has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.
19 years after the Conversation with God book 3 was released, which both the world and Neale thought was the last in the series, Neale found himself drawn into that familiar, yet unexpected dialogue with God. And this time, he received a new breathtaking revelation for the world ”Awaken The Species“ A blueprint to humanity’s next great evolutionary leap.
- Best-selling author of Conversations with God book series
- Featured teacher in hit film, “The Secret”
- Contributing author for The Huffington Post
- International best-selling author of over 30 titles on spirituality
An auto accident broke his neck and nearly ended his life. He needed a year’s rehab to learn to walk again. Not one but several failed marriages. Living on the streets homeless. His health declined. He was behind on his bills. He was collecting cans and bottles to return them for the deposit. He was at rock bottom.
On one particularly frustrating day, he scratched a series of angry, spiteful questions into a legal pad – starting with: “What does it take to make life work???”
Now well chronicled and widely talked about, it was this questioning letter that received a Divine answer. Neale Donald Walsch says that he heard a voice, soft and kind, warm and loving, that gave him an answer to this and other questions.
Awestruck and inspired, he quickly scribbled these responses onto the pad. More questions came, and, as fast as they occurred to him, answers were given in the same still soft voice, which now seemed placed inside his head. Before he knew it, Neale found himself engaged in a two-way on-paper dialogue. He continued this first “conversation” for hours, and had many more in the weeks that followed, always awakening in the middle of the night and being drawn back to his legal pad.
Neale’s verbatim handwritten notes would later become the best-selling Conversations with God books. He says the process was “exactly like taking dictation,” and that the dialogue created in this way was published without significant alteration or editing.
Conversations With God was a runaway bestseller. It was on the New York Times Bestseller list for 2 ½ years! It’s been translated into 37 languages.
Then lightning struck again. Neale channeled two more books in the exact same way. Both became international best sellers and Neale rapidly became a recognized transformational teacher.
Today, Neale is once again channeling Divine wisdom through this Quest – and by collaborating with Mindvalley, he aims to touch millions more lives with it, and spark a global spiritual awakening at a time when the planet needs it most.

What is Mind Valley Quest, and how is it different from other training programs?
Mindvalley Quests is an online learning platform that we’ve designed to revolutionize and optimize the online learning experience – and the programs we release on it are known as Quests.
Mindvalley Quests combines today’s best neuroscience, speed learning, and peak performance techniques to upgrade your brain and mindset in record time.
You need just 10 – 20 minutes a day to follow the daily lessons. Everyone starts on the same day. You can go back to lessons if you miss anything. Go at your own pace. The lessons are designed to be fun, engaging and easy. But the results you get are truly profound and long-lasting because of the transformational theory and science that goes behind the creation of each program.
Can I complete the program at my own pace?
A Quest is designed to be experienced through daily micro-learning, and as a community – but it’s perfectly fine to also study the curriculum at your own pace. And yes, if you get busy on some days, it’s okay to pick up where you left off. What’s most important is your commitment and consistency in completing the entire process. When you join any program the lessons are available to you for life. So take your time.
What if I can’t start on the class start date?
You can start the Quest at a later date. Each program starts multiple times a month. Once you join you can choose any class start date and see the numbers of students enrolled in that particular class. You can also retake any class anytime.
Do I have to do the lessons at the same time everyday?
While we do believe that practicing anything at the same time every day helps in instilling a habit, especially when you’re learning a new skill, it is NOT necessary.
Although we do recommend it, we understand that life can sometimes throw you a curveball and you may not be able to do the lesson as you originally planned.
And so it’s perfectly fine if you need to do the lessons at different times, or even miss some days and catch up later. What’s important is that you stay as consistent as you can, and follow the entire process from start to finish, at your own pace.
