About this Event

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.

Dr. Eric Maisel’s work as a retired psychotherapist provides ways to deal not only with the extreme tension of today’s existence but a path forward. Instead of relying only on medications, readers are guided to fortify and reinvigorate the mind. His optimistic approach redefines the worry of the world. Dr. Maisel has devised this practical, approachable, and inspiring way to face the struggles with calmness and serenity.

Eric Maisel is an internationally recognized diplomat coach, the author of 60+ books in the areas of coaching, creativity, life purpose, meaning, and mental health, and President of the International Association of Creative and Performing Artists. A retired family therapist and active master coach residing in San Francisco, California, Dr. Maisel is the lead editor for the Ethics International Press Critical Psychology and Critical Psychiatry series, which takes a critical look at the current “mental disorder” paradigm and the influence of psychiatry on society’s institutions. His popular Psychology Today blog “Rethinking Mental Health” has more than 3.5 million views, and, in conjunction with Noble-Manhattan Coaching, he has developed three training programs, a Creativity Coach Certificate Program, an Existential Wellness Coach Certificate Program, and a Relationship Coach Certificate Program
