The Physician’s Playbook: Coaching and Skills for Building a Fulfilling Career in Medicine
The medical field is facing significant challenges, with many physicians experiencing burnout and contemplating leaving their careers.
The Physicians’ Playbook weaves evidence-based psychology skills with real-world clinical scenarios to help you redesign your career from the inside out—so that wellbeing isn’t just something you protect for your patients, but something you cultivate for yourself. Through practical exercises, coaching tools, and relatable stories, you’ll learn to set boundaries, navigate difficult systems, clarify what you actually want, and make changes that are both brave and realistic.

Written by a practicing physician and a clinical psychologist, this is a grounded, judgment-free resource for physicians who want more than “not burned out”—they want a career that feels meaningful, sustainable, and truly their own. This book is your guide to reclaiming fulfillment and wellbeing in the grueling reality of modern medicine.
