Press Release: Little Love Coach Gives Bookworms a Cold Splash

A little "love coach" is making a big splash in the Big D. Mark Berry, love coach and dating expert, is author of the new book, Splatter Dating: The Fastest Way to Find True Love. At 5 foot 3 inches, he packs a large punch for a little man. His new book is about taking more action, and how action is key for most "bookworms."

In a day when self-help books are surging in popularity, this new book focuses on action in everything he recommends. His new book is about merging action and insight together. He says, "Some people are bookworms; some people are worker bees. The problem is: Bookworms think too much and don't take any action. Worker Bees work really hard, but never learn anything new. You have to find a balance."

For so-called "Bookworms," he prescribed a healthy dose of action. He explains "You've got to get out and do something in order to find love. You've got to start moving. Get into the scene. Get messy... Because dating is messy. Love is messy!"

He says his coaching is different from therapy because there is very little talking, and mostly doing. "The first rule of my coaching is that you do the homework. And the homework is an activity, something to actually do. It requires you to start moving towards your goals. If you don't do your homework before your next call, you have to do it on the call with me!"

For Mr. Berry, talking to "bookworms" is nothing new. He is a graduate in Computer Science from University of Texas at Dallas, in Richardson. He says, "I was always the smart one, but that doesn't mean I ever did anything. When I got serious about the search for love, I realized that I wasn't moving forward - just thinking about it!" And when he set his mind to it, he found was he was looking for. He was married in Dallas in 2002.

He has found his trade by giving "love coaching" for a living. Coaching is a 1.5 million dollar industry, as noted by a PriceWaterhouse Cooper study by the International Coaching Federation, an association that gives coaching accreditations and credentials. As a growing number of people join the coaching industry, he expects more specialization and small niche coaching. "I expect coaching to move forward much like the personal training industry in the 1980s. Twenty years ago, people thought a personal trainer is weird. Now it is a powerful industry. The same is true for life coaching."
