Review

This book is fantastic. It's easy to read and full of practical ideas to help people look after themselves and reduce stress. I think it is relevant for people in any profession, not just healthcare professionals, but especially those who spend a lot of time looking after other people (eg parents!) rather than themselves. I would recommend this to anyone. ― Amazon

Superb book, well written and easy to follow steps to reduce stress. Targeted at healthcare professionals but relevant for everyone. ― Amazon

An absolute must for anyone working in stressful or emotionally challenging environments. Easy step by step guide to self-care.

― Amazon

Amazing stress management tips. Easy to follow steps to help reduce stress. I liked the fact it was targeted to Healthcare workers, but at the same time anyone could use it for help. A fantastic book I will be telling everyone about. Would love a physical copy to carry around with me for those stressful moments. ― NetGalley

An excellent resource for those who find themselves in a caregiver role whether it is a part of their employment or a personal situation. In order to provide care for another one must take care of themselves which is something so many people forget. Burnout and moral distress are very real and can have dramatic and traumatic impact on caregivers, learning how to avoid and treat these problems is critical. I think this book would be a good book for all entering the healthcare field.

― NetGalley

A remarkable pick up put down book whenever it is required. Although the tools and exercises stay in your mind and practicing them helps them become part of your self conscious - if there are times when you need that reminder the book is easy to self navigate and go straight to the part that applies to your vulnerability or thought process. It has certainly reminded me how the power of saying "No" is empowering! It gives you confidence! The examples Sarah has used in the book demonstrates what we can all achieve. A fantastic, supportive, and positive guide to a successful you in everyday living. Applicable to every profession. ― Amazon

As a counsellor, hypnotherapist and psychotherapist myself, many of the recommended resources are familiar to me yet there is something about the clear framework and spirit of this book, the way it is presented that motivates me to further transformative action. I already find I have personally benefited from reading and applying this book.
The author regularly honours the importance of reaching out for the professional services of a counsellor/psychotherapist too when necessary. I believe it is an excellent book for counsellors to recommend to their clients as well as for their own personal benefit.

― Amazon

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking support for their own wellbeing who may benefit from utilising a defined framework ― British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing

This book reminds us of our daily needs – to create time for being rather than doing, to counteract the fast pace of life, to nurture ourselves with stillness and connect with our inner intuition. Her attention to mind, body and soul should be attractive to all holistic practitioners ― Journal of Holistic Healthcare

This empowering self-help book provides healthcare professionals and caregivers with a rich toolkit of knowledge, tasks, and resources to help take their self-care and wellbeing into their own hands and create a balanced and nourishing life ― The Psychologist

Kuipers is a strong writer who reflects on mental health issues and the need for selfcare on a whole new level. I think this book is incredibly helpful not only for healthcare professionals but also for young adults entering the workforce. It will assist them in facilitating healthy ways of thinking in order to prevent future burnout or mental health problems ― British Journal of Midwifery

“A rich, detailed and deeply valuable formula to go from a life of depleting, soul and body destroying one-way caring relationships to a balance of other-care and self-care... A gem of a book in the burnout prevention, self-care literature.” - Thomas Skovholt, PhD, psychologist and co-author of The Resilient Practitioner, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota
“This is a timely practical self help guide… ideal for health professionals looking for skills to improve the quality of their lives – one step at a time.” - Dr. Derek Chase, fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners

    Sarah has done her research through her own experiences as well as through interviewing and helping so many others. I thought I pretty much new what this book was about, but read it anyway, and I'm SO glad. I learned a TON and found many applications to my own situation that I've used immediately to decrease my stress and improve self-care. Thank you Sarah!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Easiest & Most Comprehensive Book on Self Care for Healthcare Workers
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
    I bought Sarah's book when it first came out.
    I work with healthcare professionals by helping them navigate burnout and ultimately avoid it or reduce it.

    This book is INCREDIBLE. She keeps it easy-to-read yet very enjoyable!
    There are anecdotes from people's personal stories which will help you understand the concepts and apply them to your life.

    Many books give you knowledge, but knowledge is worthless until it is APPLIED. Then it becomes wisdom.

    I feel Sarah does an awesome job of making this actionable for readers.

    And just so you know...MOST OF US will become caregivers at some point in our life (as long as we don't just throw our parents into a nursing home).

    This book will help you understand yourself more and give you the tools to THRIVE!

    Enjoy :)

    I am not a health care professional or caregiver, however I have struggled with burnout and was intrigued by the format of this book. I was attracted to the idea building a personalised toolkit for myself to draw upon when I felt close to burnout. The book not only delivered on this (many of the strategies within have become an integral part of my daily routine), but was more beneficial to me than I ever expected a book could be.

    I have always searched for ideas for what actions I can take to reduce stress, however this is the first time I had really been guided into looking into my past and considering where some of my limiting beliefs and behaviours may have stemmed from. This completely changed my mindset and allowed me to be kinder with myself, which provided a stronger foundation for giving myself permission to practice self-care, which I have found is integral to managing my stress levels.

    Something which I found particular valuable were the numerous exercises included in the book. I recommend giving yourself the time to sit quietly and really engage yourself with each exercise, as while I admit I skipped over them upon the first read, when I went back to complete them and has to put my thoughts and feelings into words, I discovered so much more about myself and my mindset.

    The book was exceptionally easy to read and I continue to revisit certain sections as and when I feel it is needed. Each time I revisit the book, something new resonates with me.

    Thank you Sarah for sharing your own experience and writing this gem of a book. I will certainly be recommending to anybody who could do with guidance on how to manage their stress!

    I dislike self-help books, but this one is brilliant! I found the anecdotes help to make it an easy and enjoyable read. There have been a number of positive changes in my life after completing the book and exercises. In particular I am enjoying life more! This is because I don’t feel I must always care for others before myself, and so I’m able to seek out pleasurable activities that bring me joy. The teachings around assertiveness have helped me to set clearer boundaries, and give myself permission to say “no”. Gaining greater insight into childhood patterns has also helped me to stop taking things so personally. I think this book could benefit most people, not just health care professionals and caregivers.
