How Do You Feel?: One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine
Autor Jessi Golden Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2025
O liniște nefirească se lasă în cabinet atunci când Dr. Jessi Gold, o autoritate în sănătate mintală și expert media, realizează că a comis o eroare de neconceput în timpul unei consultații. Nu este doar o greșeală profesională, ci un semnal de alarmă brutal: mecanismul perfecționist care o menținea în mișcare s-a gripat. În How Do You Feel?, suntem martorii momentului în care masca de „salvator” cade, dezvăluind un om epuizat de așteptările unui sistem care vede vulnerabilitatea ca pe un defect de fabricație.
Apreciem modul în care Jessi Gold refuză să scrie un manual clinic arid, alegând în schimb o abordare narativă, aproape cinematografică. Ea ne poartă prin culisele minții sale și ale pacienților săi — toți profesioniști din domeniul sănătății care se luptă cu traume, anxietate și burnout. Vedem o asistentă însărcinată care retrăiește episoade de PTSD și un medic de urgențe copleșit de greutatea deciziilor de viață și de moarte. Această perspectivă multiplă transformă volumul într-o radiografie socială a empatiei și a costului ascuns al grijii față de ceilalți.
Abordarea jurnalistică și onestitatea viscerală evocă We Are All Perfectly Fine de Dr. Jillian Horton, dar perspectiva lui Gold diferă prin focalizarea sa pe relația simbiotică dintre terapeut și pacientul-medic. Credem că forța acestei cărți rezidă în curajul de a admite că aceia care ne vindecă au, la rândul lor, nevoie de vindecare. Stilul este alert, alternând între rigoarea cercetării despre reziliență și confesiunea intimă, oferind o lectură care nu doar informează, ci și validează experiențele oricui s-a simțit vreodată strivit de responsabilități profesionale.

Descriere scurtă
A poignant and thought-provoking memoir following one psychiatrist and four of her patients as they deal with the unspoken mental and physical costs of caring for others—perfect for fans of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and The In-Between.
For Dr. Jessi Gold, everything was absolutely fine—until it suddenly wasn't. As an assistant professor, practicing psychiatrist, university wellness leader, regular media expert, and dedicated friend and family member, Jessi was used to being constantly busy. After all, people—her patients, colleagues, and loved ones—needed her, so who was she to say no to any opportunity to help, be that an extra therapy session, corporate wellness talk, or please for a friend. She was a doctor, trained to serve, to put the needs of others before her own. But when Jessi is so mentally overwhelmed that she commits an unthinkable error during a patient session, she's forced to reevaluate everything that the medical system has taught her.
While reassessing her own complex relationship to the health-care industry, Jessi begins to examine it through the eyes of some of her healthcare worker patients—a thirty-something resident with OCD, a pregnant nurse suffering from PTSD, an aspiring medical student with crippling test anxiety, and an experienced ER physician who feels completely overwhelmed. In their discussions of burnout, perfectionism, empathy, and the emotional burden of working in health care, and through her own personal therapy sessions, Jessi recognizes that she is not alone in struggling to maintain her humanity, in a field that she chose because of its humanity in the first place.
Expertly weaving research expertise with unforgettable stories and raw emotion, How Do You Feel? demonstrates the unbridled capacity that we as humans have for connecting, learning, and growing. At once deeply personal, but also utterly universal, it reminds us all that when caring for others, we first have to remember to care for ourselves.

Recenzii
"In How Do You Feel? Jessi Gold, M.D., opens a compassionate, intelligent portal into the lives of the healthcare workers struggling with their own mental health. Gold's deep-dive into the human psyches of those who serve others in the healthcare industry illuminates how difficult it is for the helpers among us to get help for themselves. With the perfect blend of stories from her practice, science, and personal narrative, Gold sheds light on the price healthcare workers pay for neglecting themselves and breaks through the stigma that keeps so many of them silent. This book is a salve for anyone facing burnout in any field, and Gold is the best kind of guide: warm, witty, and genuinely invested in other people's lives. " —Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group
"How Do You Feel? is a compelling, courageous, and portrait of a psychiatrist. I've never read such an open-hearted and honest account of what it takes to work in mental health care today. This is an ode to the art of clinical care—a paean to empathy. Jessi Gold is a true healer and this book is a gift." —Susannah Cahalan, New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire
“In this honest, wise, and heart-filled memoir, Jessi Gold reveals what it takes to retain the humanity that medicine so often forces doctors to set aside, and what it means to help yourself while helping others. I loved this book, both as a journalist who has tried to provide a similar kind of service and as a patient who has sought help from therapy." — Ed Yong, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of An Immense World
“If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t. If you’ve ever been so many things to so many people that you became unavailable to yourself. If you’ve ever believed you were too much, not nearly enough, or somehow, inexplicably, both at once. This book is for you. For us. Jessi Gold’s How Do You Feel? is one of the most human, most reassuring books I’ve ever read about the intersection of mental health, work, medicine, and culture. What a gift.” —Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
“This book will make you laugh, marvel, reflect and grow. Most of all, it will make you feel seen. Whether you’re a healthcare worker, someone who loves one, someone who sees one, or someone who is struggling, Dr. Jessi Gold’s words — and the many intimate stories here, including her own — will be a balm and a guide.” —Lucy Kalanithi, MD, Clinical associate Professor of medicine, Stanford university, and widow of Dr. Paul Kalanithi, author of When Breath Becomes Air
