Her work lives at the intersection of medicine, identity, and humanity—helping high-achieving professionals recognize burnout not as failure, but as feedback.
This book emerged not from theory, but from lived experience.

“I was trained to be a superhero. Writing this book taught me how to be human.”
—Dr. Miriam “Dr. Z” Zylberglait Lisigurski
What Changed?
Writing the book forced Dr. Z to slow down and examine what burnout was really asking of her.
Instead of positioning the book as a solution or product, she began to see it as a mirror—one that reflected patterns of over-functioning, isolation, and silent struggle common across medicine and leadership.
Through the writing process, her message shifted:
• From burnout → meaning
• From exhaustion → integration
• From coping → becoming
The book became a framework for growth, not a warning label.
