I'm Isaac Goldberg, CEO of Jerry Wise Relationship Systems, co-creator of the Road to Self program, and co-author of Jerry's first book, forthcoming from Penguin Random House.
Jerry Wise has spent his career as a family systems therapist and coach, helping people free themselves from dysfunctional family patterns and develop a clearly defined sense of self. Since 2021, I've led the growth of Jerry Wise Relationship Systems, co-created the Road to Self program, and built the media and infrastructure that carry the work to a global audience.
Step Out of the Family Patterns That Shaped You and Into a Life of Your Own.
Cover concept, not final
The book distills decades of Jerry's clinical work into a framework anyone can use to get their family out of them and become a solid, non-reactive self.
Publishing early 2027. Pre-order link coming soon.
At the center of the work is self-differentiation: the ability to know who you are, remain yourself in relationships, and stop living from the emotional patterns you inherited.
Jerry and I, working through self-differentiation one principle at a time.
My work sits at the intersection of family systems psychology, education, and media. I believe self-differentiation is one of the most important capacities a person can develop. It belongs in everyday life, not only in the therapist's office.
It matters as much for a four-year-old as for a ninety-year-old, because age alone does not make a person differentiated. It shapes how we function in every relationship system we're part of: with our family, our partner, our children, our friends, the people we work with, the people we lead, and society as a whole.
I hold degrees in social work from the Hebrew University and clinical social work from Bar-Ilan University. Early in my career, I worked at a psychiatric center for teenagers in crisis within their families. Seeing up close how deeply family systems shape a person remains one of the most formative experiences of my life.
Along the way, I've worked with founders, CEOs, and thought leaders on how family patterns, reactivity, and overfunctioning shape the way they lead.
I'm not available as a consultant, and I don't take on client work. But if what we're building resonates, I'd love to hear from you about ideas that could bring this work to a wider audience. And I'm always glad to connect with people building thoughtful, mission-driven work of their own.
