It is essential to achieve work-life balance. Often, pharmacists work in silos but experience similar work- or home-related struggles. This book would serve as a resource to pharmacists in identifying common work and home struggles, describing how challenges are addressed. Advice and recommendations for pharmacists from pharmacist who are parents are presented in this book, recommending available options to help support and achieve the successful balance that seems nearly impossible in today’s fast-paced world. Both traditional and non-traditional households will benefit from the advice shared.
The book features writing that exerts a playful nod to medicine that will appeal to the more scientific side of the pharmacist’s brain. Chapters are formatted to feature a “diagnosis, ” “recommendations, ” and “patient education”. The “diagnoses” describe struggles, “recommendations” offer options for addressing the struggle, and “patient education” provides additional resources or suggestions that may help.
