# Susan Leys Books | Healthcare Burnout, Mental Health & ADHD (www.susanleysbooks.com) > Transform Your Healthcare Career, Mental Health & Leadership 35 Evidence-Based Books by Susan Leys - Healthcare Consultant, Coach, and Author with 30+ Years of Experience. Practical guidance on healthcare burnout, ADHD strategies, mental health, leadership, and sustainable wellness. Hi, I'm Susan Leys... I've spent over 30 years working in some of the toughest corners of healthcare - emergency psychiatry and crisis management at places like Adventist Healthcare, Mass General Brigham, and Jefferson Medical Center. The work taught me something important: burnout isn't a personal failing. It's what happens when good people try to do impossible jobs without always having enough support. After watching too many talented professionals leave careers they loved because they were drowning in stress, I started coaching. What began as informal conversations with colleagues turned into a consulting practice focused on one simple question: How do we help people stay in work they care about without sacrificing their wellbeing? I've written 22 books because I keep finding gaps - things nobody talks about, questions people are afraid to ask, strategies that actually work but aren't taught in school. From healthcare burnout to ADHD coaching to helping families navigate the challenge of elderly care, I write about the messy, human parts of life that don't fit neatly into diagnoses or protocols. These days, I live in Connecticut, with my rescue cat - Darla Sage. She's taught me more about resilience and unconditional love than most textbooks. When I'm not writing or working with clients, you'll find me in Newport, Rhode Island, taking photos of the coast and remembering that even in chaos, there's always beauty worth noticing. If my work resonates with you, I'd love to connect. Thanks for dropping by - I hope you find something here that helps. Let's Connect.

What Healthcare Professionals Say Susan is one of the most compassionate professionals I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She helped everyone involved in the emergency department with debriefings and coaching as needed in order to help reduce stress. She always went above and beyond and was limitless when it came to caring for people and their well being. I had the privilege of working with Susan as a member of a work team to assess and develop a program to support our Acute Care Hospitals in team and skill building for the prevention and management of aggressive behavior. We had a productive work team in developing the program and with Susan as our lead to instruct and facilitate a provocative, insightful program to train teams in managing this population.
