WHAT’S GOING RIGHT de Paul Conti

WHAT’S GOING RIGHT:
A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health

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, Peter Attia, and Kim Kardashian, Dr. Conti poses that the best place to start addressing our mental health isn’t in focusing on what’s going wrong, but rather what’s going right. And 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 Structure of Self: When you alter your structure you alter its function

  • Cultivating a daily self-inquiry practice

  • Learning compassionate curiosity

  • Progressive muscle relaxation

  • Rewiring Life Narratives

  • Detect, Respond, Return and how to manage our stress response

WHAT’S GOING RIGHT offers readers a proven offramp from the toxic pursuits that keep them stuck and an onramp toward a joyful life.
