Reviews
"By turns funny and tragic, Committed pulls back the curtain on what it takes to become a psychiatrist-and how the practitioners, or the good ones, anyway, can put their own sanity on the line in the service of healing others." --People, Book of the Week pick "A mesmerizing memoir...[Stern] paints sensitive and often touching portraits of his patients, who dealt with everything from paranoia to anorexia to severe depression...Compassionate and candid, this is as human as it gets."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED "[A] dynamic debut memoir...As the author vividly captures the urgency, chaos, and eerie fascination involved with the treatment of mental illness, he also candidly shares numerous patient portraits, which provide some of the most moving and disturbing moments in the book...The combination of patient case studies and medical trainee journal creates an intense reading experience and an eye-opening appreciation for medical professionals charged with psychiatric care. Residents and those contemplating a career in mental health will find much to glean from this spirited memoir of dedication and dogged determination...Engrossing, indelible, and brimming with genuine humanity."--Kirkus, STARRED "With high-stakes drama, interesting characters, and a predictably appealing protagonist, it's no wonder that medical memoirs are often compelling reading. Stern's is no exception as he recalls his four years of psychiatric residency training at Harvard...A sensitive chronicle about becoming a doctor and the value of human connection and empathic listening."--Booklist "This book is a fascinating look at the inside of a medical residency, and it offers a glimpse of many of the often-understated personal costs involved...Readers who have also experienced the vigor of professional academic training will find Stern's account familiar and satisfying, while those who haven't will get a rare and insightful glimpse into the many potential struggles involved...This well-written, engaging book will have a special appeal to those already in academia and will be of interest to those who are considering it." --Library Journal, "A mesmerizing memoir . . . [Stern] paints sensitive and often touching portraits of his patients, who dealt with everything from paranoia to anorexia to severe depression . . . Compassionate and candid, this is as human as it gets." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "[A] dynamic debut memoir . . .

Synopsis
Grey's Anatomy meets One L in this psychiatrist's funny and moving memoir about his residency at Harvard Medical School., Grey's Anatomy meets One L in this psychiatrist's charming and poignant memoir about his residency at Harvard. Adam Stern was a student at a state medical school before being selected to train as a psychiatry resident at one of the most prestigious programs in the country. His new and initially intimidating classmates were high achievers from the Ivy League and other elite universities around the nation. Faculty raved about the group as though the residency program had won the lottery, nicknaming them "The Golden Class," but would Stern ever prove that he belonged? In his memoir, Stern pulls back the curtain on the intense and emotionally challenging lessons he and his fellow doctors learned while studying the human condition, and ultimately, the value of connection. The narrative focuses on these residents, their growth as doctors, and the life choices they make as they try to survive the grueling four-year residency. Rich with drama, insight, and emotion, Stern shares engrossing stories of life on the psychiatric wards, as well as the group's experiences as they grapple with impostor syndrome and learn about love and loss. Most important, as they study how to help distressed patients in search of a better life, they discover the meaning of failure and the preciousness of success. Stern's growth as a doctor, and as a man, have readers rooting for him and his patients, ultimately finding their own hearts fuller for having taken this journey with him., Adam Stern was a Medical Student at a state school before being selected to train as a psychiatry resident at Harvard in one of the most prestigious programs in the country. His classmates were high achievers, many with Ivy League backgrounds, and faculty raved about this "Golden Class," but the residents quickly realized how much they still had to learn about themselves and the challenges they faced in becoming psychiatrists. In his memoir, Stern pulls back the curtain on the intense, sometimes humorous, often demoralizing lessons he and his fellow doctors absorbed while studying the human condition, revealing the value of human connection. His story shines a spotlight on several residents, their growth as doctors, their complicated relationships with their patients (and each other), and the life choices each of them made as they survived and grew throughout the four-year residency. The stories are engrossing, rich with drama and emotion, and describe life on the psychiatric wards as it really is. Stern and his classmates learn to keep some distance between their professional and personal lives as they discover truths about themselves: what is truly important, what connection means for them, and, ultimately, how to overcome loss. After the four years, Stern emerges more confident, although still humbled by new challenges as he moves beyond his residency training, commits to a specialty, finds love, and discovers his own path forward.

- l***c (227)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2908)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
