Burn It Out: Ignite Hidden Potential with Self-Compassion is a book about an extraordinary journey of healing and transformation written by physician and former nurse. She writes under pen name Anicca Suprun. After a debilitating mental breakdown triggered by burnout and personal loss, Anicca stepped down from her medical career to unravel the root causes of her suffering.
Her quest led her to Sri Lanka, where she immersed herself in Buddhist practices, Vipassana meditation, and the challenges of daily life. Living in austere conditions, cooking over open fire, and performing manual labor provided a stark backdrop for introspection and self-discovery. Through these trials, she not only healed but also gained profound insights into the nature of suffering and the power of human resilience.
In this heartfelt book, Anicca shares the wisdom she acquired on her transformative path. Offering a fresh perspective on overcoming adversity and burnout, she guides readers through a process of self-inquiry, contemplation, and self-compassion. By harnessing the fire of personal suffering, readers can unlock their hidden potential and embark on their own journey of growth and healing.
This book can be an inspirational resource for medical professionals grappling with burnout and anyone facing life's challenges.
