Dr Ashley's moving account of her own burnout experience is intertwined with solid and strategic advice … this book has given me insights that I never learned at medical school. … She helps you to identify the factors within yourself and your environment that put you at risk of burnout. … Essentially, this book is a survival guide for anyone in a high-stress or high-responsibility role. Highly recommended!
