Our coaching method is grounded in neuroscience, ethics, and the wisdom of the ages, enabling you to make informed choices with imagination, integrity, self-care, and compassion. Whether you're facing a personal crossroads or navigating challenges at work, home, or in your community and society, this is a highly flexible and deeply personalized coaching journey for those seeking to build their future with heart and wisdom.
Here is how it works fast. You write and describe in detail a complex challenge you need addressed, in up to 500 words. We respond with reflections edited and examined by Dr. Marc Gopin and team, based on the Compassionate Reasoning method. You then receive, within a day or even two hours, a detailed response tailored to your exact words and situation. You reflect on the response and follow up in more sessions, as often as you wish. Equity pricing available on request.
You can also ask about a friend or loved one's situation in great detail, without any identifiers, and gift them our response
Our written coaching exchanges are designed to support you continuously on your journey. You simply need to reload transcripts of your previous sessions—even beyond 500 words—if you want continuity on the same subject. Come back in minutes, or come back in months; we will be here for you.

“Gopin synthesizes two vital human potentials—compassion and reason—into an approach to living together across differences and sustaining life on our planet. It should be required reading for all of us.”
William Ury, Harvard Law School
“There may be no more valuable resource than to marry compassion with reason, the heart with the head. We and our children can all benefit.”
Ted Kaptchuk, Harvard Medical School

Kevin Avruch, Carter School for Peace
“This is a hopeful book, marrying habits of the heart with habits of the mind, offering a theory and practice toward a humane and sustainable future.”
