The Soul Sucking Energy Draining Life of a Physician How to Live a Life of Service Without Losing

There's something noble about choosing a career as a physician. Heroic, some even say. And even though the Covid-19 pandemic has opened the world's eyes to the day-to-day rigors of the job, Dr. Tomi Mitchell doesn't mince words when describing how so many doctors are silently suffering, unsupported by the system. Burnout. Depression. Suicide. The Soul-Sucking, Energy-Draining Life of a Physician: How to Live the Life of Service Without Losing Yourself is a non-fiction guidebook that aims to help those working in the healthcare sector (or those in a relationship with someone in a giving profession) to understand the inherent risks of becoming a doctor and find ways to achieve work-life balance so they can thrive in an authentic way every day.

Along with research and professional insights, Dr. Mitchell's book is full of anecdotes about her journey to becoming an MD and her eventual decision to temporarily hang up her stethoscope to focus on other parts of healing, taking a more holistic approach to life and work, as a wellness and performance coach, while rekindling her love for writing. The Soul-Sucking, Energy-Draining Life of a Physician is a bold how-to guide for doctors-and those considering the profession-on how to embrace their drive but in healthier ways.
