J. Paul Luftman: The Widowmaker's Gift, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Burnout Nearly Kills You: A Physician's Journey from Heart Attack to Healing Dr. J. Paul Luftman had built a successful career as a physician-dedicated, driven, and always on call. Like many in healthcare, he wore his exhaustion as a badge of honor, pushing through chronic stress and overload. But beneath the surface, something was breaking. One day, it did. He suffered a massive "widowmaker" heart attack that nearly ended his life. What followed wasn't just physical recovery. Years of unprocessed stress and codependency addiction had caught up with him. The medical training that had taught him to save others had never taught him how to heal himself.

The Widowmaker's Gift is the story of what happened next. Part memoir, part wake-up call for healthcare professionals everywhere, this deeply personal guide hands readers a realistic and compassionate approach to burnout recovery, emotional health, and reconnecting with the present moment through science-informed spiritual practices like quiet contemplation, attention retraining, and healing with sound vibrations.

Designed specifically for those with little time and too much pressure, this book offers real-world, time-efficient tools that fit into even the busiest day. No retreats. No rigid programs. No homework. Just small, powerful practices-some as short as 30 seconds-that help you reset, recenter, and return to yourself.
