Excellent advice from one who knows!

Dr. Gautam is a psychiatrist who specializes in treating physicians, the wife of a physician, and a mom - so she knows about physician stress! This book is an expansion of a speaking program that I have heard her do. She is an excellent speaker and a great writer. The book is small, and easily readable. You can tuck it in your pocket and read it while on hold if you are a multitasker. It contains great, practical and helpful advice for all of us docs. Dr. Gautam reminds us first how we get stressed/burned out and then gives us ways to help ourselves get out of it. It helps to be reminded that we can't be or do all for everyone. It also helps to be reminded that even just doing everything that we genuinely want to do can be too much. One thing that I found extra helpful was that stopping something now because I didn't have time for it didn't necessarily mean that I had to stop it forever. I enjoyed this book and found it extremely helpful. I am buying copies for my office partners for gifts. Shhhh! Don't ruin the surprise!!!
