Case Kenny’s The Opposite of Settling Debuts on Publishers Weekly Bestseller List

Lake Mary, FL — September 2025 — Author, podcaster, and mindfulness expert Case Kenny has debuted at #7 on Publishers Weekly’s Top Hardcover Frontlist Nonfiction list with his latest book, The Opposite of Settling: How to Get Everything You Want Out of Love and Life Without Losing Your Spark (Hay House, August 19, 2025).

In addition to its Publishers Weekly success, The Opposite of Settling continues to hold the #1 spot in Dating New Releases on Amazon.com, demonstrating its strong resonance with readers nationwide. Kenny recently appeared on The Today Show to discuss the book and partnered with thought leader David Ghiyam for a sold-out Mindfulness x Optimism live event in Los Angeles. More media appearances and events are scheduled for the months ahead.

Blending practical psychology, mindfulness, and optimism, The Opposite of Settling challenges readers to rethink modern relationships. Rather than accepting the pressure to “settle down,” Kenny proposes a refreshing reframe: “settling up”—a mindset that encourages individuals to pursue love that elevates, empowers, and expands their lives.

“I wrote The Opposite of Settling through a lens of mindfulness, psychology, and optimism to show how building a life you love is the key to finding the love you want,” Kenny said. “The book breaks down how to tap into your ‘spark’ as the key to attracting love and ensuring it matches what you offer. I propose a new idea called ‘settling up’—which is the opposite of settling down. Thank you for supporting the book!”

The book has already drawn praise from notable voices:

  • “This book is a breath of fresh air and a source of inspiration for anyone navigating love. A must-read.” —Yung Pueblo, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Lighter

  • “Case Kenny provides a refreshing, unapologetic approach to dating. This book is a blueprint for finding love that doesn’t hold you back but lifts you up.” —Trent Shelton, author of Protect Your Peace

  • “Case Kenny’s wisdom will inspire you to embrace love that makes life extraordinary.” —Dr. Sue Varma, psychiatrist and author of Practical Optimism
