Greg Goode is the bestselling author of many popular articles and bestselling books such as After Awareness, The Direct Path, Standing As Awareness, and Emptiness and Joyful Freedom (with Tomas Sander). Known for a unique combination of penetrating insight, comfort with Eastern and Western sources, and a down-to-earth sense of humor, Greg studied philosophy at the Universität zu Köln in Cologne, Germany, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Rochester. His areas of specialization in graduate school were decision theory, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of George Berkeley.

Since the 1990’s up through the present era of social media, Greg has been an active contributor to spiritual Internet discussions.
