This book is not just for health care providers. I'm a retired financial services rep who found this book to be totally relevant for me, and I quickly devoured it! Now I'm going through it for a 2nd time, making lots of notes in the margins, and trying the yoga classes (there are great pictures along with those). The author has an excellent, down to earth, writing style and is very engaging.
At the end of each chapter are "Points to Ponder", which are a series of questions to dig further into the info provided and how it has influenced you. For example, there is a chapter on mindful breathing with breathing exercises (yes!) that focus on correctly inhaling, exhaling, using your nose, slowing down your breath. I never realized that I'm a very shallow breather, and the chapter info along with the Points to Ponder have helped me to remember to breathe deeply and slowly, and has made a difference in how I feel overall.
There's so much more to this book, and something for everyone!

Review of Bliss, Not Burnout
Verified Purchase
Bliss, Not Burnout by Dr. Roberta Garceau is an absolute gem for healthcare providers seeking to prioritize their well-being in a high-pressure, demanding profession. Dr. Garceau offers an incredibly thoughtful and practical guide that speaks directly to those who may often neglect their own health while caring for others.Nicole TownsendReview of Bliss, Not Burnout

What I appreciated most about this book was its holistic approach to wellness. Dr. Garceau skillfully blends Western science with traditional wisdom, offering a comprehensive toolkit to tackle burnout. The actionable exercises and strategies, from understanding circadian rhythms to utilizing breathwork for energy management, are both simple and transformative. The guidance on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices is easy to implement and incredibly beneficial.
The writing style is warm, compassionate, and accessible, making it easy for anyone, regardless of their background in wellness practices, to follow along. What stood out to me was how Dr. Garceau emphasizes self-awareness and self-care as a foundation for lasting well-being, rather than offering quick fixes. This is a must-read for anyone in the healthcare field (or anyone in a high-stress job, for that matter) who wants to find balance and joy amidst the challenges of their work.
Overall, Bliss, Not Burnout is a thoughtful, inspiring, and highly practical guide. Dr. Garceau has created a roadmap for healthcare providers to not only survive but truly thrive in their careers, with their well-being at the forefront. Highly recommended!
