From his early days as a Harvard Medical School student, Epstein saw what made good doctors great—more accurate diagnoses, fewer errors, and stronger connections with their patients. This made a lasting impression on him and set the stage for his life’s work—identifying the qualities and habits that distinguish master clinicians from those who are merely competent. The secret, he learned, was mindfulness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDr. Epstein “shows how taking time to pay attention to patients can lead to better outcomes on both sides of the stethoscope” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e). Drawing on his clinical experiences and current research, Dr. Epstein explores four foundations of mindfulness—Attention, Curiosity, Beginner’s Mind, and Presence—and shows how clinicians can grow their capacity to provide high-quality care.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The commodification of health care has shifted doctors’ focus away from the healing of patients to the bottom line. Clinician burnout is at an all-time high. \u003ci\u003eAttending\u003c\/i\u003e is the antidote. With compassion and intelligence, Epstein offers “a concise guide to his view of what mindfulness is, its value, and how it is a skill that anyone can work to acquire” (\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56592555802998,"sku":"9781501121722","price":13.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31848802.jpg?v=1762260470","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781501121722-attending","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
