Reviews
Dr. Grossman's approach is firm and compassionate. She walks the reader through the causes and symptoms of burnout and offers a broad range of specific solutions that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Sharon Grossman takes a rational and research-based approach to keep you from burnout. Full of examples and stories of how our perceptions affect our efforts, the book lays out a compelling argument that our minds shape our successes.
Dr. Grossman's book is a must-read for mental health care professionals and their patients.
Each year that goes by leaves us with more things to do, have, and become, and everyone around us reinforces this compulsion to go, go, go. Dr. Sharon's book shows how to reclaim our lives, find our focus, and create something so rare in our modern times: balance and happiness.
