Douglas Pagels

Best-selling author and editor Douglas Pagels has inspired millions of readers with his insights and anthologies. His books have sold over 3.5 million copies, and he is one of the most quoted contemporary writers on social media and online today.

One of the trademarks of Doug’s work is that it is so accessible. It gives the reader a feeling of simply listening in on a conversation that comes from the heart and touches other hearts in many different ways. The more one reads his words and shares in his insights, the easier it is to understand his enormously popular appeal.

Doug’s inspiration comes from many sources, including his enduring friendships and close-knit family. It comes from cherishing his forty-year relationship with his wife, from the devotion of being a father to two children, and from the many experiences he has had in his lifetime.

In recent years, in addition to writing, editing, and raising a family, he has managed to find the time for plenty of other interests. Doug has spent a great deal of time as an advocate for local environmental issues, and in years past he could be found volunteering in classrooms, coaching basketball, and building a cabin in the Colorado mountains. He and his wife are frequent travelers, and his family has been the host family for many visiting college students from around the world.

It has been said of Doug’s writings that no one is better at touching on so many subjects that are deeply personal and truly universal at the same time. His words mirror those of our own innermost feelings and—in the end—it is our own special
reflections that he helps us see. For more information about Doug, visit his website.
