This was interesting to read after Brené Brown‘s The Gifts of Imperfection, which also touches on guilt vs. shame. This book is also a precursor to If I Betray These Words, by Wendy Dean and Simon Talbot, which talks about the challenge that physicians face in maintaining empathy in the modern (American) health-care system. I appreciate 2013 Ofri's frankness about her own biases and mistakes and wonder what 2023 Ofri is like.
