A free email and podcast about finding serenity and success doing work that matters.

I was stressed or wrung out for much of my working life. But a few doing tough jobs aren’t. I’ve spent years figuring out the approaches that allow serenity and success while doing challenging work you care about.

I now write (and record) practical advice, twice a month. It’s free, bullshit-free, and not selling anything.

I’ve spent much of my working life as a GP in England’s National Health Service and as a legal aid barrister (trial lawyer) representing marginalized people. I’ve also helped develop health services on four continents, taught at four universities in the UK and North America, advised and helped lead non-profit organizations and governments, and trained and mentored countless doctors, nurses, medical students, lawyers and others in several parts of the world.

Currently I’m working as a GP and emergency medicine doctor, co-leading a medical team in a small hospital on an Indigenous reserve on a remote island in the Canadian Pacific.
