Summary : SMART is an innovative, fun, engaging, and simple approach toward twenty-first-century stress. The program shares with you a set of transformative principles that can help enhance your relationships, make sustained behavior change, improve work experience, enhance health, resilience, and wellbeing, reverse burnout, and find greater happiness. SMART achieves these goals by taking you on a backstage tour of the brain to help you understand some of the brain's automatic mechanisms that generate and multiply stress. In four simple steps, SMART then enables you to take back control of your brain, so you live your days with greater intentionality, courage, hope, and inspiration. In developing SMART, we have synthesized information from tens of thousands of research studies, the experience of hundreds of thousands of patients and learners, and wisdom collected by Dr. Sood in his journey across two continents over three decades. We have tested the resulting approach in over twenty clinical trials. The resulting program has reached over half a million people and adopted by some of the most reputed organizations in the world. SMART is scalable and practical and offers skills that won't crowd your already clogged inbox. In the words of Dr. Sood, "We aren't adding more milk to your already filled cup. We are adding chocolate powder to the milk, so it doesn't increase the volume, but changes the entire flavor!"

Summary : "In this book, we tell the story of burnout of health care professionals. Many believe burnout to be the result of individual weakness when, in fact, burnout is primarily the result of health care systems that take emotionally healthy, altruistic people and methodically squeeze the vitality and passion out of them. Burned-out professionals are exhausted, jaded, demoralized, and isolated, and they have lost their sense of meaning and purpose. Frequently, these individuals are shamed and blamed by leaders who suggest they should sleep longer, meditate, and become more resilient even as they expect them to work harder, see more patients, embrace rapidly changing technology, stay abreast of new medical advances, and provide quality health care"--Provided by publisher.
