This physician heals himself!

I'll be upfront with you. This is not an unbiased review. I've known Dr. Shelton since first grade, and he was the best man at my wedding. When I heard that he had written a book about burnout, I thought: Alan? Burnout? How could someone with such a contagious laugh, such compassion, such cheer, such care, have burnout? But then I recalled how once I had to reassure him that it was okay to leave his patients and take his wife on a vacation to Hawaii -- for caregivers need care too, and even the best can get burned out, especially the best can get burned out.

And so it was with great anticipation that I awaited the arrival of my copy of Transforming Burnout. Surely if Alan had burnout, he would be able to find a clear way to transform it. And indeed he has, inspired, as it should be, by the wisdom of the people he serves -- Native Americans -- and their concept of a Wellness Circle restoring physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.

Burned out? Read it.
