RICHARD WALDMAN

Keynote Speaker | Coach | Veteran | Author of “You Are Not Your Brain”

Richard D. Waldman is an Army veteran, clinical pastor, life coach, speaker, author of You Are Not Your Brain, and founder of The Brainyites Mental Health Group nonprofit.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from California State University, Long Beach, Richard spent decades studying human behavior, leadership, and personal transformation. Through his work, he discovered that many people are not struggling because they are broken—they are struggling because they have never been taught how their thinking actually works.

That realization led him to create The Order to Life System™ and write You Are Not Your Brain: Discover How to Manage the Chatter in Your Head That’s Managing You. His work helps people recognize the difference between who they are and the mental chatter that often drives fear, self-doubt, stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity.

Richard has shared his message with diverse audiences, including individuals transitioning through the prison system, college students, community organizations, churches, and mental health groups. He has worked alongside the National Alliance on Mental Illness Southwest Florida (NAMI SWFL) and, through The Brainyites Mental Health Group nonprofit, provides free workshops and educational programs designed to help people better understand their minds and improve their quality of life.

Richard teaches that by understanding and mastering The Order to Life Circle™—the relationship between judgment, chatter, evidence, and reaction—people can learn to respond more consciously and live with greater peace, clarity, and purpose. Those who embrace and apply these principles become what Richard calls a “Brainyite”—someone who understands that they are not their brain and no longer allows mental chatter to control their life.

Today, Richard continues to guide people toward healthier thinking and a more peaceful life through speaking, coaching, writing, and community education. His message is simple yet powerful: You are not your brain—and once you understand that, everything changes.
