James Arthur Ray is one of the most popular and richest Motivational Speaker who was born on November 22, 1957 in Honolulu, Honolulu, United States. James Arthur Ray (born November 22, 1957) is a leadership and performance advisor, life coach, and author who was found directly responsible for the deaths of three people and convicted of felony negligent homicide. He is the author of Harmonic Wealth: The Secret of Attracting the Life You Want, which was a New York Times bestseller.
Former attendees of Ray’s seminars have reported unsafe practices and lack of properly trained medical staff in 2005. A New Jersey woman shattered her hand after she was pressured by Ray to participate in a quasi-martial arts board-breaking exercise. After several unsuccessful untrained attempts, the woman sustained multiple fractures during the seminar that was held at Walt Disney World.
Ray taught Stephen Covey motivational seminars while employed at AT&T and claimed he later worked two years for the Covey foundation; however the company has no record of him as an employee or contractor. In 2006 he appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live and was one of several narrators in the film The Secret. He also appeared on the Today Show and Oprah.
James Arthur Ray’s father was an Oklahoma preacher at the Red Fork Church of God in Tulsa. “The hardest part of my childhood was reconciling how Dad poured his heart into his work, how he helped so many people and yet he couldn’t afford to pay for haircuts for me and my brother,” Ray wrote in his 2008 book Harmonic Wealth. “How could a loving God keep me from Cub Scouts on account of not being able to afford a uniform?” However, a classmate of his recalled that “Ray always dressed well and knew he’d make something of himself.”
In 2005, preceding the events of October 2009, a serious injury involving hospitalization was reported at the Angel Valley Ranch during a “Spiritual Warrior” retreat led by Ray. Verde Valley Fire Chief Jerry Doerksen’s department responded to an emergency call that a 42-year-old man had fallen unconscious after exercises inside a sweat lodge.

On October 15, 2009, after extensive interviews with participants and ancillary witnesses, the Yavapai County sheriff’s office upgraded the level of the investigations into the deaths of James Shore and Kirby Brown to a ‘homicide investigation’. Officials claimed the nontraditional “sweat lodge” structure lacked the necessary building permits. Print media began reporting that Ray conducted a conference call with some victims, one of whom recorded the call and provided it to the AP. During this call, a self-described channeler said that they had communicated with the dead and they had said they “were having so much fun” out of their bodies that they didn’t want to return. On October 27, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar asked the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the event to complement the local investigations. On October 30, a wrongful death lawsuit claiming negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and other actions on the part of Ray and the site owners was filed for the family of Liz Neuman. A similar action was filed for Sidney Spencer who was seriously injured. The suits sought compensatory and punitive damages alleging that defendants failed to provide adequate prior warnings, to monitor the participants’ well being in the sweat lodge, and to provide medical treatment. On November 10, Dennis Mehravar, an injured attendee from Canada, joined the Spenser suit.
