The Happy Physician - Don't...

Nanda Sekhon

Physician, do you know how to heal thyself?
Or are you taking care of everyone else while you continuously feel empty and exhausted?
For many doctors, being a physician isn’t just a profession; it’s an identity. If you’re not careful, it can be an all-consuming identity, with nothing to spare for yourself and your family. This is no way to live your life because it can lead to burnout, depression, and poor health.
You are a physician, but you are also YOU. You can be happy and accomplished. You just have to find your balance.
Balance can be challenging. Dr. Nanda knows; she’s been there. She was burned out, depleted, and had nothing left to give. She began searching for the answer to her own unhappiness, only to discover that she was the culprit.
Through her health battle, fighting depression, and self-discovery, she learned that she didn’t have to fix everything for everyone and that she was worthy of love and happiness without having to burn herself out in the process. She learned to love herself for who she is, not just as a physician but as a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter.
Now, her mission is to teach you how to do the same. This book is going to be your guide. Nanda will teach you to spot burnout in yourself and others and how to step away and prioritize YOU when you see those signs.
How can you take care of others unless you take care of yourself?
It’s time to be a Happy Physician!
Nanda Sekhon is a physician in El Paso, Texas. She is a medical director of a hormone clinic in her hometown. Nanda has an adventurous spirit, and she loves influencing and empowering others. Her vision is to create a world where every person knows their worth outside of their career and where physicians can give true, quality care without fear of burnout.
