Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts
by
In Meditations for Mortals, Burkeman brings the themes and questions at the heart of Four Thousand Weeks - time, mortality, imperfection, productivity, and how to live fully and deeply even when things are most challenging - into the heart of our daily lives. How do we embrace the reality of our finiteness? How do we make decisions and act with conviction when there is always too much to do and failure is inevitable? How do we find a deeper sense of purpose when we realise that life is not a problem to be solved? How does care for others make us more free?
Substance Use Disorder in Healthcare Professionals: When Caregivers Need Care and Treatment
by
This book develops on substance use disorder in healthcare workers, a topic not often discussed. While the phenomena is nothing new, the desire to learn about it is. This book describes why substance use disorder occurs in healthcare workers, explains how to recognize substance use disorder in peers and how to care for them. It discusses the barriers to seeking treatment, provides different monitoring programs and disciplinary actions, and educates on the recovery and how those with long term recovery maintain it. This book also intends to decrease stigmatizing behaviors. While the main focus is nursing, this book can be helpful to any healthcare professional group. Dr Carmel Clancy, President of the International Nurses Society on Addictions (IntNSA), did us the honor of writing the Foreword.

When a Doctor Dies: Responding after an Unexpected Death or Suicide
by
This guide supports NSW hospital managers and leaders in responding to the unexpected death of a doctor, including by suicide. Preparing the organisation is essential to ensure a compassionate and effective response. Doctors may be profoundly affected by the loss of a colleague, and require targeted support owing to the unique pressures they face and their higher suicide risk. Developed specifically to address these needs, this guide is based on insights from doctors who have experienced the unexpected death of a colleague. While focused on supporting doctors, the guide is also relevant for all staff, and organisations are encouraged to use it as a framework to consider the needs of everyone in the hospital community.
