"What's Going Right?" A New Way to Think About Mental Health

Over 61 million Americans are living with a mental health condition, and anxiety in young adults has surged nearly 140% since 2010. This, despite more therapists, apps, and awareness campaigns than at any point in history. So why are the numbers still going the wrong way? In this episode, Dr. David Friedman sits down with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti, who argues we've been asking the wrong question. Instead of "What's wrong with me?" the more powerful question is "What's going right?" Dr. Conti unpacks the three core human drives that shape our thoughts and behavior. He discusses why balancing achievement, pleasure, and purpose matters more than chasing any one of them, and how compassionate self-reflection can quiet the inner critic. He also shares what he's learned working with some of the most recognizable people on the planet, and the one thing they had in common, which had nothing to do with fame or fortune. This conversation can literally change your mind.
