It’s a story about a physician retreat, but the book is really about much more than burnout repair. It’s about the accumulation of injuries that can happen over a career in medicine, the ways physicians learn to carry them, and what can happen when we finally have enough space to look at them.
There were parts of this book that felt uncomfortably familiar to me. It’s one of the books on this shelf that stayed with me after I closed it. I finished it in 2 days during a recent stay at a friend’s lake house.
