Harmony by Design: Navigating Work and Life in Healthcare reimagines how we approach well-being in a fast-paced, high-pressure world. Rather than striving for a rigid sense of balance, this book introduces a more flexible and fulfilling concept: harmony. It’s about aligning your values, goals, and daily actions to create a life that feels whole and sustainable. Authors Sharon M. Weinstein, Marla J. Vannucci, and Katie Boston-Leary blend practical tools with thoughtful reflection, drawing from the latest nursing competencies and real-world challenges to help readers manage stress, lead with empathy, and build meaningful careers without sacrificing personal well-being.
Harmony by Design is more than a guide — it's a blueprint for living and leading with clarity, compassion, and purpose. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, leader, or student, this book offers the tools and mindset for you to thrive in both your work and your life.
Also available: Learning Guide and Workbook for Harmony by Design, including tools, activities, and resources to help put harmony concepts into practice.
