pickGoing to call it a low Pick. Still depressingly relevant even 20+ years after publication. I do remain cynical that organizations would ever fully deal with burnout in the ways presented in the case studies, but it‘s nice to imagine.

pickI‘ve read this book twice now , it‘s long and detailed so I think I took new things from the second reading . Beautifully written - interesting story line - and follows the characters throughout their lives - it‘s well worth a read or even two .
pickAbsolutely flew through this. Each chapter covers a different person's life and mental illness. She includes lots of different perspectives so you begin to understand all the narratives that can exist around one experience. Loved. The parts where Aviv includes her own experiences and thoughts on both eating disorders and using antidepressants are fascinating. Would recommend to anyone.
pickThis one was a very fast read. Read it in two days. I am left curious. Not a spiritual person to start, I am fortunate that I already possess an open mind, a character trait this book highly encourages. We don't know all there is to know about this life, the next one, or the last. All we can do in the here and now is remain open, learn, grow, and help those around us. While referencing the Old Testament in the book, I couldn't help but realize⬇️
(Continued)...disappearance of their children, devoured by dictatorship.
pickAn interesting look at the concept of mental illness in history and culture, and the implications of stigma on wellbeing.
so-soWas a really interesting book to read, but then I think the ending was a bit of a flop.
