This well-documented book gives a series of doable steps to reorient your life toward better health and more fulfillment. In their previous book, the authors looked at healthcare and healthcare workers. Their conclusion that more compassion leads to better patient outcome and less burnout in staff led to the present book which extends their ideas to the general public.
The book is very readable for a general audience. The authors present lots of research from around the world, but make it understandable and interesting. The anecdotes help a great deal. They support the research with concrete examples of how helping people can change the life of the helper. This attitude is refreshingly different from that preached by many self-help books that talk about the importance of “me time” and putting yourself first.
This is a book anyone can read and learn from. I enjoyed it and think it can help orient your life toward better health and happiness.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
