"Exceptionally well written, organized, presented, and timely, Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals is essential reading for anyone working in dentistry and should be considered an important textbook for supplemental dentistry curriculum reading lists.... Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals is a critically important and unreservedly recommended for professional, college, and university library Dentistry collections."
--Wisconsin Book Watch, Mar 23, Midwest Book Review

"I would highly recommend this book - you will need your own personal copy though to get the most out of it, as you scribble your own thoughts down and emerge with a set of every day strategies that should rewire your thinking and help you enjoy this wonderful career of dentistry more fully"
--Len D'Cruz, Head of Indemnity, British Dental Association

"The format is clear and well considered. The book is aimed at dental professionals and I welcome the inclusivity of the whole team, something that has been lacking in past research.... The book isn't text-heavy and has a good balance of theory and activities; it ensures that readers stop and consider their own wellbeing. Some complex psychological ideas are touched on but in a way that is relatable thus making them more understandable"
--Michelle Williams, Dental Hygienist, Published in BDJ Team, Feb 23
