Many thanks to J. Paul Luftman, MD, for joining me on today’s episode of “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.” Dr. Luftman has been a family and sports physician for 25 years. He is also the author of the new book “The Widowmaker’s Gift: Balancing Science and Well-Being in Healthcare.”
Dr. Luftman was prompted to reevaluate life’s priorities after a sudden massive heart attack. “The Widowmaker’s Gift” describes his healing journey as he began to appreciate his many life stresses and compulsion to always please others, often at the expense of his own emotional well-being.
During our 35-minute interview, we discussed his exploration of Western and Eastern philosophies to find a remedy for years of suffering from “Imposter Syndrome” and excessive perfectionism. In his book, Dr. Luftman offers brief, practical exercises for physicians and others to help achieve balance and wellness in their busy lives.
Dr. Luftman also revealed his new venture, “Saturation of Sound,” which he hopes will help others, especially young physicians facing an overload of information and excessive stimulation from nonstop social media and relentless 24/7 news updates.
