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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Epstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501121723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501121722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Ronald Epstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052107428095,"sku":"9781501121722","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_874712cf-7eaa-46b3-8999-c704e78c9f7b.jpg?v=1685016992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/attending-ronald-epstein-9781501121722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
