Stanford-trained psychiatrist David Carreon, MD, reveals what it takes to move from nagging disappointment, dissatisfaction, or depression to a life of thriving. One of the pioneers of the use of an intense form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in severely depressed patients, Dr. Carreon was astonished by how quickly and dramatically most of them recovered. But he also saw very clearly that just eliminating the symptoms of depression wasn't enough. To live a truly fulfilling life, his patients needed to leave old habits behind and embrace the patterns of flourishing. In The Opposite of Depression, he draws on insights from his clinical experience, the latest research, and his Christian faith to point listeners to principles and practices that promote thriving in mind, body, and soul. Each chapter offers practical steps listeners can take to start moving in the direction of greater satisfaction, fulfillment, and purpose.

David M. Carreon, MD, is a psychiatrist and cofounder of Acacia Mental Health, a clinic in Silicon Valley working to transform mental health care. He studied and served at Stanford, where he earned his MD, completed a psychiatry residency, and worked as a professor. He is a leading clinician in the treatment of major depressive disorder, achieving success in some of the most challenging cases using an approach that combines the latest technologies and the oldest truths. His research has focused on human agency and on new ways to restore freedom through treating depression. He loves teaching; going on dates with his wife, Abigail; and excessively long brunch conversations.

Rob Vlock is obsessed with books. Whether writing or narrating them, he brings passion and professionalism to every project. While novels are his first love, he is equally dedicated to pouring his heart into narrating nonfiction books of every description. A cancer-survivor, musician, and author of several novels, he taps into his unique take on life, melody, and the spellbinding power of words every time he steps into his fully equipped home studio in the suburbs of Boston.
