As a healer -someone who is passionate about healing, leading, teaching, and/or caring for others — you are driven to serve the world. But this same gift that you have for healing
others comes at a high price with regards to your own health, wellness, and well-being. In this groundbreaking book, international well-being scholar and the author unpacks her evidence-based research in the science of well-being. She explains how this research can help explain why healers like you often have unique challenges with regards to your longevity and quality of life. Here you will learn: How healers like you are especially susceptible to the quietly draining, yet pervasive conditions of compassion fatigue and burnout; How you really can live the good life in a way that is good for you by combining both subjective (self-rated) and objective approaches to assessing, managing, and optimizing your well-being; How to strategically approach your well-being optimization (your well-being ultimatum) by using the author Model of Well-being.
