ERIC MAISEL at Books Inc. Alameda

We live in stressful times. Some say that this is the most challenging time in history, it is fueled by ego, competition, injustice, and anxiety. Just glancing at news headlines each day is enough to cause alarm.

Mental health experts, psychologists, therapists, and counselors have reported the rising levels of stress, depression, anxiety, worry, and fear, year after year, for the last two decades. We can either wring our hands and doom-scrolling, or we can do something about it.

Brave New Mind offers ways to:

Handle increasing stress in all areas of our lives.

Join the powers of serenity and alertness of oneself.

Cope with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental illnesses.

Find renewed strength and motivation we have lost.

Make new meaning and find our life purpose.

Create a brave new mind equal to this moment.
