Ready for the Real Life is the seventh album by German rock band Fools Garden, released in 2005. As it was recorded with a new line-up (except for singer Peter Freudenthaler and guitarist Volker Hinkel), the band's name was changed to Fools Garden^{[citation needed]}. "Man of Devotion" was released as the first single. "Does Anybody Know?" and "Welcome Sun" were released as a double A-side.
