The Abundance Life. The Abundance Series, #7

What is best for my child?It is the question asked at the wrong moment - in parking lots, at the end of school meetings, half-joking and fully desperate. Ravinder Nath Bhalla, MD has been asked it hundreds of times over forty years of clinical practice. This book is his answer. The Abundance Life is a guide to every stage of human development, from birth to death. Not a manual. Not a checklist. A compass for the grey between normal and worrying, between enough and not enough - the territory where most of life actually happens.
Drawing on four decades of clinical work as a board-certified adult, adolescent, and child psychiatrist, Dr. Bhalla moves through the entire lifespan in thirty-two chapters: the neuroscience of early childhood, the clinical picture of adolescent mental health, the midlife reckoning, the long marriage, perimenopause and male midlife health, and the systems that govern the final years - what they provide and what they do not.
But this book does not stop at the individual. Its final chapters propose a structural answer: a universal child investment account seeded at birth, a constitutional floor beneath every American child, and a policy architecture submitted to the Senate Finance Committee and the White House in 2026. The child in front of you is developing now. This is the floor you can build today.
