Description
Book SynopsisWhilst financial success can provide a short term basis for our motivation and well-being, long term satisfaction is only likely to be achieved if there is harmony between our personal values and goals and our professional objectives, and we are content with the place that our profession occupies within our lives.

Trade Review
"This book does a good job of gearing the information towards veterinarians and it is useful in helping veterinarians discover what is important to them and how to get the most out of their professional careers and personal lives." (Doody's, 18 November 2011)
"SUCCESS IN VETERINARY PRACTICE: MAXIMIZING CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND PERSONAL WELL-BEING provides would-be vets and libraries catering to them a fine survey of what is meant by success in veterinary practice. From setting and achieving goals in a veterinary career to improving work/life balance and changing management techniques for better outcome, this is a dual survey of professional ethics and well-being and is a 'must' for students and new veterinary office practitioners alike." (California Bookwatch, January 2011)"The book encourages veterinary practitioners to adopt a holistic approach to achieving life-long success in veterinary practice, rather than simply focusing on the traditional balance sheet, which only takes into account profit and loss, dollars and cents. It is refreshing to read a text that links the two ideals of successful practice and personal wellbeing, rather than simply linking success to a positive balance sheet." (Australian Veterinary Journal, November 2010)
"Due to its ability to engage the reader and encourage free thought, rather than spoon feeding pure data, a wide array of experience levels are ably catered for, which means a veteran practice partner can gain just as much from reading this volume as a relative novice." (Veterinary Record, August 2010)
"The book is thought-provoking with many useful insights that can help practitioners." (Veterinary Practice, June 2010)
