Beating burnout is possible! In her latest book for advanced practice and registered nurses, Dr. Martha Libster guides the reader step-by-step to heal—and prevent—burnout.
Burnout is a common term for a state of perceived exhaustion of energy. Instead of dwelling on this problem that many nurses today are familiar with, this book focuses on solutions to beating burnout that nurses and other health care workers can immediately adapt to their personal needs.
This new book is about precision self-care for common health concerns, life transitions, and excessive stress that can lead to burnout. In the Elements of Care® gentle medicine program detailed throughout this book, readers will trace the roots of ancient healing traditions and discover the power of plant-based medicines.
The paperback edition is available from university bookstores and your favorite booksellers.
