Feeling stuck under an invisible ceiling is one of the most frustrating places to be. You’re driven, focused, and capable. You’ve pushed yourself harder than most, never settling, always striving for more.

But now, it’s like something is holding you back—and no matter how hard you work, you can’t seem to break through.

The pain doesn’t come from lack of effort. It’s the opposite. You’ve given so much. You’ve achieved milestones that once seemed out of reach.

But now, the same strategies that got you here no longer seem to work. It’s like you’ve hit an invisible wall.

It shows up in subtle but relentless ways.

You second-guess yourself more than you’d like to admit. Big decisions feel heavier, as if every choice carries more risk than reward.

You catch yourself replaying the same scenarios, but clarity never comes.

You feel isolated from the people closest to you. Even in relationships that should feel secure, something feels off.

Conversations are surface-level. Arguments linger. And instead of resolving conflicts, you avoid them.

There’s a nagging dissatisfaction in your accomplishments. You thought reaching the next level would bring peace or fulfillment.

But instead, the bar just keeps moving. The moment of success fades too quickly, leaving you wondering why it doesn’t feel the way you thought it would.

Burnout creeps in. The long hours, the endless responsibilities, the constant juggling—it all takes its toll.

But you tell yourself to push through because resting feels like falling behind.

And then there’s mabye the hardest part: the invisible nature of it all.

You know something is holding you back, but you can’t quite name it.

Blind spots, hidden patterns, and unconscious beliefs quietly shape your actions and decisions, keeping you stuck in loops you can’t see.

It’s not a lack of skill. It’s not a lack of ambition.

It’s the weight of carrying old stories, self-limiting beliefs, and unhealed wounds that you didn’t even realize were there.

This isn’t just about your career or your relationships. It’s about how you experience life—how you show up for yourself, for others, and for the moments that matter most.

Breaking through this ceiling requires more than mere effort.

It demands a new level of awareness, a deeper understanding of your inner world, and the tools to shift what’s been holding you back.

Without addressing these blind spots, that ceiling will always be there, no matter how hard you try to climb.

I’m David Tian, Brown University Certified Leadership & Performance Coach, Level 3 Certified IFS Therapy Practitioner, and a former university professor of philosophy specializing in moral psychology. For years, I lived what many men would consider a dream life—building a thriving business, coaching celebrities and executives, and earning media recognition as “Asia’s Hitch.” My dating skills program was ranked the best in the world and the only one in the world that’s been scientifically verified.

On the outside, I thought I had it all: a life filled with parties, luxury, and status. Yet beneath the success was emptiness. My relationships were shallow, my achievements felt hollow, and my core insecurities were hidden beneath a mask of accomplishment.

When my world came crashing down after a public betrayal, I spiraled into despair. I thought I’d reached the peak of life, but I was standing at the edge of the 57th floor, ready to end it all. Twice, I came face-to-face with death. And in those moments, I discovered something that changed my life forever.

What ultimately saved me wasn’t achievement or success—it was love. Not the transactional kind I’d been chasing, but the unconditional love I felt for my two-year-old goddaughter.

That love opened my eyes to the truth: life’s meaning doesn’t come from external achievements. It comes from mastering your inner world and connecting deeply with others.

This realization led me to dive deep into the world of psychology and therapy. In addition to Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, I also have advanced formal training in several evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Existential Therapy. I’ve combined these disciplines into a unique approach that helps my clients master their inner worlds, transform their relationships, and lead lives aligned with their deepest values.

Now, through the Total Inner Mastery program, I help high achievers go beyond surface-level success to master their inner world, strengthen their relationships, and lead their lives with clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. My mission is simple: to guide others toward the deep transformation I once sought—and found—within myself.

Man, I can’t even begin to explain how much this program changed my life. Before, I was just coasting—work, Netflix, repeat. I wasn’t really living. David’s program hit me in ways I didn’t expect. I finally figured out why I kept sabotaging myself in relationships, and now I’ve got this clarity and confidence I’ve never felt before. My friends have even noticed, asking me what’s different. Honestly, I’d recommend this to anyone who feels stuck or knows they’re capable of more but can’t figure out how to get there.

Let’s talk straight.

This isn’t a course. It’s not “content.” And it’s not for dabblers.

Total Inner Mastery is the most advanced experience I offer—

Designed for people who’ve already built success on the outside…

And now want something deeper, permanent, and real on the inside.

This kind of work doesn’t scale.

Which is why it’s delivered in a high-touch, private coaching format.

And why past participants have invested between $17,000 and $21,000, with upcoming tiers moving toward $25,000 and beyond.

Not because it’s trendy.

But because this is the work that changes the way life feels—forever.

No pressure. No pitch.

But if you’re even considering this level of growth, the waitlist is where it starts.

Life before this program was... messy, to say the least. Work stress was constant, and I was either avoiding my feelings or letting them blow up at the wrong time. David’s coaching helped me understand how to handle all of it. I feel so much lighter now, like I can actually enjoy life. My relationship with my girlfriend has completely transformed, and I’ve stopped second-guessing myself at work. It’s like I finally found my groove. If you’re serious about making a change, this is the program for you.

I thought I didn’t need something like this. I’ve always been the guy who figures things out on his own. But deep down, I knew something was missing. My confidence was all external—work success, money, stuff like that. But internally? A mess. David's coaching helped me dig into things I’d been avoiding for years. Now, I’m not just confident at work, but I feel it in my personal life too. Relationships with my family and friends have gotten considerably better. If you’re even considering this, I’d say, stop waiting. It’s 100% worth it.

FAQs

Q: How much time will this take?

A: Each week includes a 90-minute deep coaching session. Beyond that, expect up to 30 minutes of assignments between sessions. That’s it.

Q: How many participants will be in each group?

A: Each group will have only 2–4 members. This ensures an intimate setting and guarantees you’ll receive direct mentorship and 1:1 attention from me.

Q: Is this program only open to men?

A: Not at all. While most of my audience is male, women and non-binary individuals are welcome to apply. In fact, some applicants may qualify for a small diversity scholarship. If this applies to you, email support "at" davidtianphd.com for details.

Q: What if I can’t afford it?

A: I understand financial concerns, and this program is an investment. The price reflects the quality, depth, and personalized attention you’ll receive, backed by our service guarantee. It’s designed for those who value their growth and are ready to make it a priority. For the right person, the value is unmatched.

Q: Are there refunds?

A: This program is a serious commitment, not a casual endeavor. That’s why I don’t offer refunds. Instead, I back your investment with my “Guaranteed Results or Another Year on Me” policy.

Here’s why this matters:

1. Group Integrity: This program relies on a committed group dynamic. When participants leave, it disrupts the trust and cohesion we've built. Imagine sharing your deepest fears and people just disappearing—it's not fair to anyone.

2. Pushing Comfort Zones: Real growth happens outside your comfort zone. Committing fully ensures you push through tough moments, rather than taking an easy out.

3. Skin in the Game: Financial commitment means you take this seriously. It’s a signal to yourself that you’re dedicated to your growth and transformation.

I’m equally invested in your success. If you don’t experience measurable results in your first year, I’ll work with you for an additional year at no cost. When you join, you’re committing to real, lasting change.

Q: Is this guarantee for real?

A: Yes. I built this program to deliver measurable transformation. If you show up and commit, I’ll make sure you see the results—or I’ll work with you for another year, free of charge. This is my promise to you.

Q: Can I get a reimbursement from my employer?

A: Yes. During the application process, you will be able to specify your employer information so that you can be issued an appropriate invoice for company coverage or reimbursement. Once accepted, you can also request a pre-written template that you can use to explain the value of the program to your manager or company and request reimbursement. Many organizations provide professional development stipends to their employees.

Q: Can I ask any other questions?

A: Absolutely. I’m here to help. If you have more questions or want to clarify anything, reach out to support "at" davidtianphd.com, and my team will get back to you promptly. Let’s make this the start of something extraordinary.
