Description
Get ready to learn how to harness stress for success with insight, personal stories, and laughs from a medical doctor who shows the science behind the advice and methods.
In her new book, part-memoir, part self-help, Never Let Them See You Sweat, Dr. Leigh empowers women by relating to stresses as a single mother, career-minded woman in a male-dominated field, and experienced doctor, appearing across a multitude of televised news broadcast in the country. This book was conceived and crafted during a particularly trying time in Dr. Leigh's life, alongside living through the unprecedented pandemic, in which she found herself contemplating and discovering the truth about stress and how she could pass along advice and guidance to assist other women through daily stress and challenging times. Dr. Leigh offers a candid look behind-the-scenes of her professional, and sometimes hilarious, journey through life and the knowledge she's accumulated, because beyond the “all together” TV appearances and years of medical experience, she is still a woman under pressure and a bit of a neurotic perfectionist who had to learn how to never let them see her sweat!

Dr. Leigh's delivers a fun, yet highly researched and informative, book about stress and how to alleviate it - even harness it. Her, sometimes humorous, climb up the medical and media, ladder shows her own ability to Never Let Them See You Sweat. You'll love the chapter about “Vanity's Little Secret!” I recommend this book for anyone, particularly women, who aspire to go beyond their stress while pursuing their best selves.

Dr. Leigh's sense of humor shines through as she reveals some of her most stressful stages in her life. Then, she provides an array of techniques, which are backed by science, to relieve stress. I love her “best investment of her life,” a bathtub where she literally soaks the stress away. If you've seen her on TV commenting on the latest health and medical news, you're going to love getting to know Dr. Leigh in her book, Never Let Them See You Sweat.
