What's Going Right: A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health - Hardcover

"A peerless mental health guide that belongs in every home." ―Andrew D. Huberman, PhD, professor of neurobiology, Stanford School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab Podcast.

This affirming book from world-renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Conti, offers a paradigm-shifting approach to optimizing mental health, offering readers a proven way towards a joyful life--based on the popular series on Andrew Huberman's podcast.

More than one in five US adults are living with a mental illness. Since 2010, adults ages eighteen to twenty-five have experienced a 139 percent increase in anxiety. For all of the increasing and well-intended mental health resources at our immediate disposal, we could easily ask where we are going wrong. Yet, Dr. Paul Conti wants to know, "what's going right?"

Backed by celebrities and esteemed colleagues such as Lady Gaga, Mel Robbins, and Kim Kardashian, Dr. Conti poses that the key to embracing this new narrative is tapping into our often ignored and long over-looked generative drive, the primary factor that's already going right in each of us. The generative drive helps you get things done, solve problems creatively, help others and feel connected to something larger than yourself. When activated, it brings you peace, contentment, and delight.

With Dr. Conti's notorious straightforward sincerity, he shares the exact method he uses on his patients and celebrity clients to help them tap into their generative drives including:

• The 5 Part Function of Self: When you alter your function you alter your life trajectory
• Cultivating a daily self-inquiry practice
• Learning compassionate curiosity
• Progressive muscle relaxation
• Rewiring Life Narratives

What's Going Right offers readers a proven offramp from the toxic pursuits that keep them stuck and an onramp towards happiness.
