START ON THE PATH TO BURNOUT RECOVERY WITH BEAUTY
It’s been said that art has the ability to heal wounds. By exposing our
inner selves to true beauty we can treat emotional scars and promote
wellness. But can art actually help alleviate feelings of burnout?
Dr. Shawn C. Jones thinks it can, and with Finding Heart in Art, he
uses Renaissance paintings as a framework to explain how medical
professionals can manage fatigue. Through an appreciation of the
beautiful world around us, we can reconnect with our feelings and
experience gladness, anger, fear, sadness, hurt, and all the feelings
that call you to full living. Your emotions are a reflection of your heart’s
desire―don’t lose touch with them.
“As an emergency physician reflecting upon my own experience, Shawn’s
story strikes painfully close to home. In this time of growing clinician
disillusionment and burnout, this timely work is valuable both to healers
seeking their own journeys of redemption and their family, friends, and
patients who love and rely upon them.”

“Finding Heart in Art is more than a book; it is a channel of grace that
may save your life. For those experiencing burnout or a numbness to
life, rediscover what it means to connect with yourself, to be human
made in the image of God, and to embrace beauty, creativity, and
imagination all over again. Come and be transformed.”
