He has addressed a wide diversity of issues, ranging from low carbon lifestyles, livable neighborhoods, and sustainable communities to organizational talent development, corporate social engagement and cultural transformation. Over the past thirty years the empowerment programs he has designed have won many awards, and a major research study described them as “unsurpassed in changing behavior.”

David is the author of eleven books, including the award winning Social Change 2.0: A Blueprint for Reinventing Our World, and the best selling Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to Lose 5,000 Pounds which is being used by over 300 cities in six countries.
