About Dave Berman Coaching

"Wow, I never thought about it like that before."
I hear this often, and love it. It's what people say to me when I've been listening deeply to them and reflect back what I've heard. 

This response suggests they've had an insight, emerging awareness of something already there they just hadn't noticed.

This is the essence of my coaching - pointing to someone's own experience in a way that helps them uncover a new understanding of themselves and how life works. 

Often that's realizing our infinite simplicity, imagination, creativity, laughter, and other "supplies" are always available.

The result is often a better emotional quality of life: a quieter mind, more consistent inner peace, improved communication and relationships, enhanced creativity and spontaneity, steadier leadership, superior decision making, greater self-love and trust, getting unstuck, launching new projects, and a simpler way of being: more lighthearted and fun.

All of these are examples of growth and personal development I've experienced too.

My evolution began in 2008 as I neared the end of a business partnership with my soon to be ex-wife. That's when I found a book whose impact I can't possibly exaggerate. 

It's by Rob Brezsny and called "Pronoia Is The Antidote For Paranoia: How The Whole World Is Conspiring To Shower You With Blessings".

This book continues to change lives - my own and my imagination partners in The Pronoia Experimentation Pod.

The insights this book inspired in me revealed newfound hope and optimism; willingness to experiment with pleasure, joy, imagination, curiosity, resilience, kindness, and laughter; awareness of the role of Thought in creating my perceptions; recognition of my next career path; and getting undiagnosed and unmedicated after 20 years believing I was bipolar.

The Pronoia book gave rise to aspirations of who I wanted to be, which is who I've become. Since beginning to train as a coach and hypnotherapist in 2010, I've been innovating through the daily exploration of Infinity Laughter, pronoia, and the Nature of Thought.

On arrival in Saigon, in the back of a cab, Dave spots a motorbike driver with a jacket saying "Good Fuckin' Vibes"
In a daily video series that ran nearly 3.5 years, I laughed with people in all 50 United States and 70 other countries. During that time I traveled internationally to speak and teach, living in Saigon for nearly two years.  

This photo was taken less than an hour after first landing in Vietnam, on the way from the airport to my new home. It was the first of many beautiful signs of the Conspiracy of Blessings called pronoia.

In 2019, I returned to my native New York to bid farewell to my Mom, and help my Dad for a while. Next I traveled to Melbourne, Australia, expecting to stay one month then return to Vietnam. That's when Covid started. 

During the three years I remained in Oz, my exploration of infinity laughter, pronoia and the Nature of Thought only went deeper. I wrote another book, created more programs, and built the Principles of Laughter Library

I finally returned to Saigon in February 2023. There are two highlights so far. First, I've chosen ĐƠN GIẢN as my Vietnamese name (translation: SIMPLE). Second, I've written and published The Simple Book of Infinity through ĐƠN GIẢN.

Maybe I love hearing "wow, I never thought about it like that before" because every time I have that thought myself my emotional quality of life improves.
