REViEWS

"Kristin hits the nail on the head with this book. As a dental hygienist with over 20 years of experience, I would have loved to have been privy to her insight on the stress and struggles of being a dental hygienist in the early years. She very succinctly outlines several thoughts/feelings that I think we all go through in the early years of our careers. More importantly, she has devised numerous strategies that anyone can use to overcome these challenges/stresses. Her book would be of great value to dental hygiene students and dentists alike. It would likely prevent burnout and alleviate stress prior to starting a hygiene career. While the book is written from a dental hygiene perspective, there is a lot of value to be gained by anyone in any profession who is overwhelmed and suffering from burnout. Well done, Kristin! Thank you for your honesty, humility, and compassion."
