In addition to authoring the renowned With God series, Neale has published 16 other works, as well as a number of video and audio programs. Available throughout the world, each of the CwG dialogue books has made the New York Times Bestseller list, Conversations with God-Book 1 occupying that list for over two and half years.
The With God Series has redefined God and shifted spiritual paradigms around the globe. In order to deal with the enormous response to his writings, Neale created the Conversations with God Foundation, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to inspiring the world to help itself move from violence to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from anger to love.
Neale's work has taken him from the steps of Macchu Picchu in Peru to the steps of the Shinto shrines of Japan, from Red Square in Moscow to St. Peters Square in Vatican City to Tiananmen Square in China. And everywhere he has gone-from South Africa to Norway, Croatia to The Netherlands, the streets of Zurich to the streets of Seoul, Neale has found a hunger among the people to find a new way to live, at last, in peace and harmony, and he has sought to bring people a new understanding of life and of God which would allow them to experience that.
As you may recall, earlier this year I interviewed Mishka Production's Ariel of Scottsdale, Arizona about their upcoming event, Celebrate Your Life. Liz Dawn and her mother, business partner Ariel Wolfe call forth a luminary line-up of leading visionary conference speakers: James Twyman Colette Baron-Reid, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss, Dr. Wayne Dyer, James Van Praagh, , Dr. Joan Borysenko, Neale Donald Walsch, Debbie Ford, Dr. Meg Blackburn, Lynn Andrews, SARK, Dr. Brian Weiss, Alan Cohen, Dr. Eve Wood, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, Marianne Williamson, Dannion Brinkley, Gary Zukac, Alberto Villoldo, Cheryl Richardson, Joan Borysenko, Debbie Ford, Dr. Steven Farmer, and more.

Neale knows the power that is within one that turns from changing the world to changing yourself first. I know everybody is interested in learning, I found that I had to unlearn more than learn. I had to learn who I am not and I uncovered who I am. I'm sure Neale would agree.
Ask not: Who or What is God?
Ask: Who or What is He not?
Your friend,Don
Amen to that!
This tittle of the book I find a little weird….
It seems to assume an intrinsic seperation from God from which we could compare levels of this human notion of happiness.
I believe what Neale means based on conventional thinking, that God is the epitome, goes to suggest:
“Dare to be happy, and even happier than God Himself.”
This is what Jesus suggests, when saying:
Jesus said, ” Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (St. John 14:12)
Notice the separation here, even in this context?
I will ask Neale your question, if you like, then we can all get clarification on what he means.

Thanks Bryan
They do say not to judge a book by it's cover :)
Yes the way of seperation is conventional thinking, however untrue it may ultimatley be. And going along with the trend may help in teaching conventional people.
The message to be happy is a good one and something I continue to learn more and more about.
Have you ever read the book “Illusions” by Richard Bach? It reminds me of how a proposition that he makes at the begining something along the lines of what would you do if god commanded you that your first priority was to be happy on this earth?
As for what Jesus said if he did really exist, well who knows about all that. Still he makes quite a good storey and being raised a catholic I Love him regardless.
