The central work. A clinical and policy argument applied to civilization — from the foundational framework through its application to every major system that shapes human life, to the constitutional architecture that makes the failures inevitable, and finally to the individual life lived inside the abundance orientation from birth to posterity.

Wisdom in Psychiatry: Understanding Begins Healing
Wisdom in Psychiatry is written for anyone who has been touched by emotional suffering-or distress- those who struggle themselves, those who love someone who does, and those who care for others professionally. Rather than reducing distress to labels or diagnoses, the book seeks to deepen understanding of the inner life behind symptoms. Its aim is to lessen fear, challenge misconception, and restore a more humane way of seeing emotional illness. Written for both clinicians and general readers, it approaches suffering not as a defect to be managed, but as an experience to be understood-because genuine understanding is often the beginning of healing.
Nietzsche A Guided Tour: A Path Through His WorksTwo-Volume Box Set
This two-volume box set offers a complete guided journey through Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and life. Volume I moves chronologically through his major works—from The Birth of Tragedy to the final writings of 1888—illuminating each text's argument, context, and significance. Volume II explores the central themes that run through his thought: love, marriage, friendship, money, illness, music, and the challenge of becoming who one is. Together, these volumes provide both a path through what Nietzsche wrote and a map of how he lived and thought. Written by a psychiatrist with decades of engagement with Nietzsche's psychology of meaning, this is a work for readers who want to encounter the philosopher directly, without reduction or simplification.
Wealth Mind and Meaning: The Money Book Nobody Gave You
Most financial books treat money as a purely technical problem. This one doesn't.
Written by physician Ravinder Bhalla, MD, this comprehensive guide weaves together the practical mechanics of personal finance with the psychology that actually drives behavior and the deeper question of what money is ultimately for.
Drawing on insights from economist Ludwig von Mises, psychologist Daniel Kahneman, and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, Dr. Bhalla addresses what other books leave out: how your inherited beliefs about money shape every financial decision, why intelligent people make predictable mistakes, and how to spend in ways that compound into lasting well-being rather than fleeting pleasure.
From earning and saving to investing and legacy planning, from your twenties through retirement, this is the financial education you should have received but never did-honest about uncertainty, grounded in evidence, and focused on building a life worth living.

Body text: Forthcoming 2026 · Standalone
A philosophical memoir in three movements. The First Movement witnesses what it looks like when systems built to sustain life fail to address the lives inside them — a severely autistic son, a ninety-seven-year-old woman who has asked to die and cannot, a diabetic man being taken apart piece by piece. The Second Movement turns inward: what does forty years of witnessing teach about the life still being lived? The Third Movement declares: we are fighting the wrong wars, the intelligence to fight the right ones is available now, and the question is whether we have the honesty.
For readers of Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air.
