The calibrated mind
A practical manual for mental health.
"The Calibrated Mind is not the standard 'self-help' book that leaves you feeling inspired with no practical advice. This book is like a manual for navigating your mind. Prepare to put this book down over and over in the middle of reading to try out a new protocol."
The Problem.
You sometimes struggle to find motivation for what you do. You end up always coming back to bad habits, and the good ones just don’t seem to stick. You spend year after year chasing after the same New Year’s resolutions and quitting a few months later. But because you’re not actively suffering from major depression, everyone writes off what you’re experiencing as normal and acceptable. I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s not. You’re not supposed to feel this way, nor do you have to.
The six pillars of excellent mental health.
"Mental Health is the single most important skill anyone could ever learn."
Motivation: The ability to feel energized and driven toward meaningful goals rather than flat and apathetic.
Discipline: The capacity to do what you need to do, even when you don’t feel like it.
Willpower: The ability to resist temptations and cravings that undermine your goals.
Presence: The capacity to be fully engaged with the present moment.
Enjoyment: The ability to derive satisfaction from ordinary experience, regardless of external circumstances.
Stress Management: The capacity to handle pressure without being destroyed by it.
