The Future of Mental Health drills to the heart of the current mental health crisis, where hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide receive unwarranted “mental disorder diagnoses.” It paints a picture of how mental health providers can improve their practices to better serve individuals in distress and outlines necessary steps for a mental health revolution. Eric Maisel’s goal is to inject more human interaction into the therapeutic process.

Maisel (Season 1, Episode 153) powerfully deconstructs the “mental disorder” paradigm that is the foundation of current mental health practices. The author presents a revolutionary alternative, a “human experience”paradigm. He sheds a bright light on the differences between so-called “psychiatric medication”and mere chemicals with powerful effects, explains why the DSM-5 is silent on causes, silent on treatment, and wedded to illegitimate “symptom pictures.” Maisel describes powerful helping alternatives like communities of care, and explains why one day “human experience specialists” may replace current mental health professionals.

An important book for both service providers and service users, The Future of Mental Health brilliantly unmasks current mental health practices and goes an important step further: it describes what we are obliged to do in order to secure better mental health services—and better mental health—for everyone.

As life gets busier and more complicated we crave something larger and more meaningful than just ticking another item off our to-do list. In the past, we’ve looked to religion or outside guidance for that sense of purpose, but today fewer people are fulfilled by traditional approaches to meaning.

Bestselling author, psychotherapist, and creativity coach, Eric Maisel (Season 1, Episode 153) offers an alternative: an eight-week intensive that breaks through barriers and offers insights for living each day with purpose. Once you understand how meaning operates, how meaning and life purpose are related, and what concrete steps you can take toward fulfilling your purpose, you will never run out of meaning again.

The program presented in Life Purpose Boot Camp: The 8-Week Breakthrough Plan for Creating a Meaningful Life will develop self-awareness and self-confidence and give you what you need to fully live the best possible life.

For years, Nick Pavlidis (Season 1, Episode 151) felt stuck.

He worked hard, believing he was doing what was best for his family. Over the years, the combination of long hours, unpredictable schedules, and a growing family took its toll.

Nick tried everything he could think of to improve his marriage, but nothing worked – including nights on that old couch. Nick soon realized he was not only the problem in the relationship, but also the solution.

In Confessions of a Terrible Husband: Lessons Learned from a Lumpy Couch, Nick takes you inside the mind (and house) of a husband who thought he knew it all.

Nick’s story is honest, funny, and hopeful. Both husbands and wives will enjoy the process he undertook to become a more loving and engaged husband and father – a process you can explore to grow your relationship, too, no matter how great it already is.
