"This book addresses the issue that all nurses eventually face at one time or another in their career, a loss of passion. The author takes readers on a journey to recapture their passion….Every nurse should read this book." –V. Hedderick, Doody's Review Service
"Overall, this is an exceptional book and worth the investment for both the novice nurse who wants to proactively recognize compassion fatigue and for the experienced nurse who is struggling with professional quality of life." –D. Crawford, Journal for Nurses in Professional Development, 2013

Higgins, ANA-Maine Journal, The Newsletter of the American Nurses, Association–Maine, 2013
"Todaro-Franceschi offers nurses a handbook for holding on to the criticality of compassion and caring in nursing." –G. Snyder , Advance for Nurses, 2013

…one can teach, talk about, and continuously act to try to ensure quality and safety, but if the nursing workforce is compassion fatigued and/or burned out, quality and safety concerns will never be adequately addressed. It is impossible to disentangle the quality of care for the patient from the carer's professional quality of life; they are one. Health for the cared for and the carers is directly related to the care rendered and received; how we care transforms our professional quality of life (and our overall quality of life), and how patients receive care transforms their quality of living and dying.
