Testimonials

“High praise for Bliss, Not Burnout! This book is a must-read for anyone who finds themselves behind a desk (in an office or at home), in a health care setting where awkward angles and locked legs are a “thing,” and out in the field where ergonomics don’t matter when you’re trying to give the best care possible. Take care of yourself, dear superhero! Let Bliss, Not Burnout show you how!”
— Wayne Pernell, President of Dynamic Leader Inc.

“A compelling mind-body journey from a dentist who made some fascinating discoveries about how we can all stay healthy and reach our potential.”
— Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP Āyurvedic Author, Founder of LifeSpa.com

“This book is not just for health care providers. I’m a retired financial services rep who found this book to be totally relevant for me, and I quickly devoured it! Now I’m going through it for a 2nd time, making lots of notes in the margins, and trying the yoga classes (there are great pictures along with those). The author has an excellent, down to earth, writing style and is very engaging. At the end of each chapter are “Points to Ponder”, which are a series of questions to dig further into the info provided and how it has influenced you. For example, there is a chapter on mindful breathing with breathing exercises (yes!) that focus on correctly inhaling, exhaling, using your nose, slowing down your breath. I never realized that I’m a very shallow breather, and the chapter info along with the Points to Ponder have helped me to remember to breathe deeply and slowly, and has made a difference in how I feel overall. There’s so much more to this book, and something for everyone!” 
– Leslie, Retired Financial Services

“Bliss, Not Burnout is not your typical book about how to navigate your life and all of its overwhelm. This is a very personal call to action from a woman who wants to help you help yourself. Roberta Garceau shares her extremely vulnerable journey in service of your health and wellness because she knows what’s at stake—your life. It’s part wellness guide and part memoir, calling on the ancient yoga and ayurvedic practices in service of you making a change today. I highly recommend this beautiful book and that you reach out to Roberta, who invites you to do just that at the end of her book.”
— Tricia Brouk, International Award-Winning Director, Author, Producer Founder of The Big Talk Academy

“What I appreciated most about this book was its holistic approach to wellness. Dr. Garceau skillfully blends Western science with traditional wisdom, offering a comprehensive toolkit to tackle burnout. The actionable exercises and strategies, from understanding circadian rhythms to utilizing breathwork for energy management, are both simple and transformative. The guidance on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices is easy to implement and incredibly beneficial. The writing style is warm, compassionate, and accessible, making it easy for anyone, regardless of their background in wellness practices, to follow along. What stood out to me was how Dr. Garceau emphasizes self-awareness and self-care as a foundation for lasting well-being, rather than offering quick fixes. This is a must-read for anyone in the healthcare field (or anyone in a high-stress job, for that matter) who wants to find balance and joy amidst the challenges of their work.”
– Nicole, Dental Office Manager and Graphic Designer

“Dr. Roberta Garceau has crafted a beautiful masterpiece with Bliss, Not Burnout. She infuses her witty anecdotes with comprehensive tools for preventing burnout, a concept increasingly researched and discussed in our hasty modern-day world. Garceau gives her readers suggestions to implement that will enhance our lives and allow us to thrive, not just survive. This book has thoughtful strategies and tactics for health care providers as well as any person hoping to achieve balance in their lives.”
– Cayla Daniele, PA-C, President of the Connecticut Academy of Physician Assistants

“Dr. Garceau is not only a phenomenal writer, but she taps into what most of us caregivers feel from time to time (or maybe MORE than time to time): burnout. We forget to prioritize ourselves, our minds and our bodies when the need in the community or within family feels so great. But you can’t pour from an empty cup. This book not only reminds us of this importance, but guides you through steps to do it. It is a MUST in your self-care journey.”
– Marissa, President of Dogology
