DR. THOR CHALLGREN

Dr. Thor Challgren is a TEDx speaker, ordained minister, and author whose work explores how we rediscover purpose and meaning in the second half of life.

His latest book, What Do You Believe? Really?, invites readers to uncover the beliefs that quietly shape their lives and replace them with empowering new stories. His forthcoming novel Come Back New is a modern tale of transformation and second chances.

Drawing on both timeless spiritual wisdom and modern storytelling, Thor explores lessons from movies like Star Wars and Superman—reminding audiences that heroes aren’t born; they’re made through choice, courage, and change.

He holds a Doctorate in Consciousness Studies and an MFA in Writing from UCLA. A recent empty nester, Thor lives in Southern California with his wife, where he continues to write, teach, and remind others that it’s never too late to start again.
