Ending Body Burnout: Find Your Spark
Ending Body Burnout stands out for its depth and deep insights, offering an in-depth exploration of the human body—particularly the female body—and the experiences of burnout. Dr. Filipa Bellette writes with evident love and concern for those who have faced burnout, crafting a narrative that is both comprehensive and transformative. She challenges the notion of quick fixes and critiques the over-reliance on prescriptions and surface-level treatments. In addition, Chris Bellette presents a holistic approach that addresses the body, mind, and environment, aiming for true healing and sustainable health. Her method digs deep into the root causes of health issues rather than merely providing temporary relief.
Ending Body Burnout introduces a four-step method, drawing on decades of experience with burnout. These steps involve diagnosing issues at an intrinsic level, healing the mind, fostering healthy habits for the body, and optimizing your environment. Each step is carefully designed to help readers identify and comprehensively address their unique health challenges.
The book uses the journeys of three characters—Hazel, Isla, and Rose—to illustrate the Bellette method. These characters embody different aspects of body burnout that busy professionals, especially women, frequently encounter. Through their stories, readers can see themselves, relate to their struggles, and find inspiration in their triumphs. This narrative approach makes the book not only engaging but also highly practical and easy to read. Bellette’s emphasis on treating the whole person, rather than isolated symptoms, feels innovative and inspiring. She invites readers to think deeply about the interconnectedness of the body, encouraging a holistic view of health. The passion she brings to the subject is evident throughout, particularly in the way she uncovers the causes of burnout—from physiological imbalances to psychological factors—and offers actionable strategies for each. The personal nature of the book shines through when she advocates for self-love and self-care as essential components of recovery, making her advice feel authentic and sincere.
This book is not your typical health guide. It’s not a rehash of familiar advice, but a tried-and-true path to transformation. Bellette’s writing is empowering, and her engaging style keeps readers captivated from start to finish. Ending Body Burnout serves as a call to action, urging readers to navigate the complex interactions between their body systems, mindset, and environment. It doesn’t just offer a quick boost of energy to get through the day; it teaches the essentials of thriving in life. Timely and necessary, this book is a must-read, especially in a world still grappling with the lingering effects of the pandemic.

Pies to Die For: How to Live a Vibrant Life Despite a Fatal Diagnosis
Pies to Die For is a how-to for those dealing with terminal diseases. Carole Weaver was first diagnosed with metastatic cancer in 2016, two days before she was about to see her grandson Mac Weaver for the first time. In the book, she talks about how she has been dealing with her disease. The book is not just about how to deal with the disease, how to have a semblance of an everyday life, but rather how to have a vibrant one, regardless of how big or small the disease is. She shares several incidents from her own life and the work of her husband, Ken, who creates appraisals for those who have lost art through death, debt, divorce, or disaster. The book is influenced by his profession and talks about the beauty and importance of art in one’s life, stage four cancer or not.
The book explores common issues that people tend to face, like pain, depression, panic attacks, and lesser dealt with topics such as intimacy problems, information overload etc. It provides unique insights into the life and struggles of those dealing with terminal diseases and thus is helpful for those wishing to overcome related issues, people who might have just received their news and are scared of the uncertainty the lies beyond, or friends and family who want to help and understand better.
The best part about the book is that it is a true to the soul, first-hand account of someone battling cancer. More often than not, we see self-help gurus, psychologists, and doctors publishing books on how to deal with cancer and other terminal diseases. However, no matter their expertise in their fields, they have no idea what a survivor deals with. Pies to Die For is an authentic, relatable, and touching first-hand account.
I also appreciated the appendix, which gives a quick go-to for dealing with a bad day. The book also gives you questions to ask in a group discussion. This is a complete guide answering questions and providing information that is not provided in the endless doctor appointments. This book tells you how to live a vibrant life and not just survive post-diagnosis.
Pies to Die For is an impassioned story that bares insight into a survivor’s life and provides tools to make their life full of joyous moments to remember. It provides actionable advice for dealing with your diagnosis and the life after that, even the things that you didn’t know you needed. This is an inspirational book that makes you appreciate your life, no matter how long or short, or how hard or easy.
