Positive Psychology for Healthcare Professionals

I once read how a nurse has “the opportunity to heal the mind, soul, heart, and body of our patients. They may forget your name but they will never forget how you made them feel." (Maya Angelou). Positive Psychology helps us be our best selves, and to be our best for others requires feeling our best selves too. What Jan has done by her research and throughout this book has helped find a way to keep our nurses and caregivers at their best so, in turn, they continue to be remembered for the best they make others feel.
