Why Doctors Kill Themselves, Pamela Wible 

Strategies for Building Resilience, Wayne Sotile, PhD 

• Recommended by POSNA member Dr. Kristin Livingston “This is a surprisingly easy to digest book, useful for anyone looking to help improve workplace satisfaction and decrease burnout on the division- or system-level in healthcare. It lays out a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to improve morale, align values, cultivate leadership and strengthen resilience. This book is a great framework for anyone looking to improve the lives of their colleagues in medicine.” 

• Recommend by POSNA member Dr. Dan Miller. “This book really provided some well needed, perspective for how I think about time. Not as an asset, but as an ever-present moment. If you have ever been frustrated trying to fit “all the big rocks first” into your proverbial bucket, this is the book for you.

• Recommended by POSNA member, Dr. Will Cutchen, “I really enjoyed this book.  It’s short, only 130 pages, but filled with great stories. A former Navy SEAL, Admiral McRaven addresses topics like attention to detail, failure, and changing the world.  If you don’t like to read just pull up his Texas commencement address on YouTube”.

• Recommend by POSNA member Dr. Dan Miller. “I read this after a chance viewing of the author’s Masterclass while on a flight. It is both incredibly fascinating and eye opening.  It is delightful to learn about how different creatures in the animal world sleep (a dolphin sleeping with one half of a brain at a time, a Frigate bird taking “micro naps” while crossing an ocean etc.) The evidence of the deleterious effects of even minor sleep deprivation is alarming. Reading this book helped me understand and prioritize sleep for myself, my family, and my patients.”
