GREAT NEWS!
The updated and revised Second Edition of my book,
is NOW AVAILABLE!!!
I love the new cover and how it highlights a central need for all medical professionals: Community! We long for camaraderie and effective teamwork to provide the care we are trained to give.
Praised as "a love letter to the medical profession," this revised and updated edition adds resources, stories, and strategies to support journeys to thrive, not merely survive, at work and in life! The book maintains the same relatable style with fresh insights and new prompts for reflection and personal transformation.
In today’s high-pressure environment, Recapturing Joy in Medicine invites you to reflect and rediscover what inspired you to practice medicine in the first place. This interactive, practical resource sparks insights and new ways of thinking that help you see possibilities rather than obstacles. Amaryllis shares stories and lessons from her thirty years in medicine, leadership, and advocacy alongside inspiring colleagues. From her early days as chief resident to her practice in the military, corporate, nonprofit, and faith-based settings to life-changing medical missions overseas — her diverse experiences fill the book with unique perspectives that inspire introspection and action.
This updated edition is an expression of hope and gratitude
for my colleagues in medicine and every member of the healthcare team.
My hope is to equip, empower, and encourage each of you
to be good to yourselves as you care for others!
The book is a well-researched, hope-filled companion to daily practice in any setting where patients receive care. Caregivers also find it valuable as they learn about challenges of modern medicine and the need for medical professionals to pursue greater personal wellbeing in mind, body, soul, and spirit while striving to provide excellent care in a fractured system.
Thank you for sharing this resource with medical professionals of all types, including students, residents, fellows, medical schools, health professions schools, training programs, hospitals ... and all who love and work alongside these dedicated human beings!
Blessings,
Dr. Mari (Amaryllis)
Move beyond fatigue and frustration and rediscover
purpose, possibilities, and JOY!
