This book is a good, helpful read. It is a book that guides you through healthcare. It talks about burnout, stress, and exhaustion. The main point of the book is to give tips on how to care for yourself as a healthcare worker. I like how this book brings reality to the fact that healthcare workers are human too and need to care for themselves as well.

I really enjoyed this book on burnout and mindfulness in medicine especially in such a high stressful lifestyle and workplace. Being mindful is not only helpful t yourself to keep yourself healthy but also protects your patients as you increase your patience and attention to errors and increase your empathy. Great discussion points on why mindfulness is related to medicine and how it helps workers. Overall good read!

if you are in the healthcare field - doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, veterinarian, dentist, first responder, etc. - this is an important read with accessible, easy to incorporate mindfulness practices for staying sane in a withering system.

if you love someone in the healthcare field, this is a meaningful gift to give.
