Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout: 12 Actions to Create the Ideal Workplace tells the story of the evolving journey of those in the medical profession. It dwells not on the story of burnout, distress, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and cognitive dissonance but rather on a narrative of hope for professional fulfillment, well-being, joy, and camaraderie.

Whilst working in a mental health setting for 30 years Mary Heath soon discovered that everyone she encountered shared a similar problem: no one appeared to have any knowledge at all of how to cope with the stress of life and its consequences. The great majority of patients had no coping skills or strategies at all. No one had been taught how to deal with stress, and many didn't even know what stress was and why they felt so helpless, so alone and so afraid. Mary on the other hand had a very large tool box and a set of skills that helped all of them to change their lives around and become healthier and stronger in every way. Having been trained in many disciplines in the field of stress, anxiety, depression and personal development she was able to tailor an individual's requirements, according to their specific needs.
