Reddit reviews Warrior Mindset: Mental Toughness Skills for a Nation's Peacekeepers

It's not enough and it never will be...Our patients demand perfection and in many ways deserve it, but that's not reality. Reality is that we are imperfect persons working in an imperfect system, making choices with imperfect information, all in the hope that we are healing/helping imperfect patients. You must draw a line between your work and your life otherwise the negativity and toxicity of the work will taint the rest of your life. Unfortunately there aren't any books that talk about managing the emotional stress you will be exposed to in healthcare. I've found that books about dealing with the stress of law enforcement are a good analog.


I recommend:

Best wishes; hope you find the strength and balance you're looking for.

Ulan is bang on! Have you heard of "mental rehearsals"? You think about the optimal outcome and then rehearse the actions required in your mind. This is highly effective (it's a less spiritual wankiness version of "the Secret" i guess).

I used to mentally rehearse every mission when I in the army. from Physical Fitness tests, to the range, to flights.
