Are you called to serve others? Then it may be time to protect yourself -- from stress, exhaustion, and compassion fatigue. In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Suzie Carmack explains why "healers" need to make a special daily effort to protect their health, wellness and well-being -- which she calls making a well-being ultimatum. Dr. Carmack explains that she defines a "healer" as anyone who is called to serve the world in a 24/7 way -- leaders, caregivers, clinicians, educators, bodyworkers, emergency responders, military service members and even parents. In Well-Being Ultimatum, Dr. Carmack combines her extensive 20 years of research in stress management, work/life balance with her own powerful story of healing to explain why and how all healers can protect themselves while they serve the world. The book explains: Why those who love to teach, lead, parent, and/or heal others can easily become burned out - and what to do about it; Why the science of subjective and objective well-being matters in the management of stress at home, and in the workplace -- especially in high-stakes, high-performance, and high-consequence fields; How to use a strategic planning process to optimize the physical, financial, social, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions of your well-being; And, how to use what Dr. Carmack calls the "3 S's" (self-care, social support, and services) to ensure that your well-being is protected every day. If you or someone you know loves helping others, encourage them to make a well-being ultimatum in order to protect their ability to serve the world.
