Iris Waichler, MSW

Non-Fiction / Self-Help

Publisher: Manhattan Book Group

Publication Date: May 29, 2026

Page count: 112 pages

SYNOPSIS:

Burned Out evolved from conversations I had with a friend who had been a firefighter for 30 years. He shared stories about traumas he and his fellow firefighters experienced while on the job. We discussed universal challenges that first responders face in terms of not knowing what to do with this trauma, recognizing its symptoms, and the impact it had on family members and loved ones. I interviewed male and female paramedics, firefighters, and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) around the country to get their candid personal stories and experiences.  I also interviewed family members. We all shared the goal of wanting to. help fellow first responders and family members understand the dynamics of trauma, its impact, and how they can get support to cope with its consequences with renewed understanding and resilience. 

Key themes of book:

  1. What types of trauma do first responders experience on the job?

  2. How does it impact them physically and emotionally?

  3. How does it affect their relationships with family members and loved ones?

  4. How can first responders and family members understand and cope with these traumas?

  5. What ways can they effectively communicate and understand the ramifications of trauma?

  6. Where can they go for help to deal with the trauma and learn to heal from it?

 

Message for readers: My hope for those who read this book is that you will have a greater understanding and appreciation for the sacrifices our first responders and their families make in the service of others. I believe reading these personal accounts in combination with the information, support, and resources provided will be invaluable to all who take the time to read Burned Out. I hope you will share it with others you believe might find it beneficial.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Iris Waichler has been a well-known patient advocate and licensed clinical social worker for the last 40 years. She began her career working with geriatric patients who experienced catastrophic illness and counseled them and their families about adapting to these medical problems. She helped them understand their medical condition helping them to cope with the disease and its impact on their lives.

She is an award-winning author. In addition, she is a prominent speaker presenting on topics related to infertility and caregiving. She has been featured in Redbook, Parade, MindBodygreen.com., Forbes Magazine, and Next Avenue Magazine. She also has done many radio shows and podcasts.

Iris has taught and supervised social work students, medical students, interns, residents, and nurses about patient rights, ethics.

Ms. Waichler found herself in the role of a patient when she battled infertility for many years. The feelings of loss and helplessness she personally experienced were profound. She promised herself if she was successful in having a child, she would do everything she could to help other people fighting infertility.

She authored a second award winning book, RIDING THE INFERTILITY ROLLER COASTER, A GUIDE TO EDUCATE AND INSPIRE. This book won 4 awards including 2 best book of the year awards. The response was so great she began doing individual and group counseling with people who had infertility. She volunteered for RESOLVE, a national infertility group, and went on to do a series of radio interviews, magazine articles, workshops, and speeches on infertility topics.

Her book, ROLE REVERSAL, HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR AGING PARENTS, has won 8 major book awards. Her experience in caring for her beloved father, who died at age 97, triggered her passion in reaching out to others who suddenly find themselves in a caregiver role and are uncertain about what to do or where to go for help. In this book she shares her father’s inspiring story and her personal and professional experience in assuming the challenges that come with being a caregiver for an aging loved one.

Iris has been doing freelance writing for the last 18 years. The focus of her work has been on health-related topics. She also does workshops and speeches offering caregiving tips for caregiver family members and educating healthcare professionals.

Ms. Waichler lives in Chicago with her husband, Steve, and her daughter, Grace and her mini golden doodle Brandi. She loves to travel whenever she can and to spend time with friends and family.

REVIEW:

4 stars!

An easy-to-understand yet comprehensive discussion of how the job affects first responders and their families. 

Burned Out by Iris Waichler, MSW, is a comprehensive presentation on how first responders' jobs affect their physical and mental health, their relationships with family and friends, how to recognize the warning signs of trauma, and what resources and treatment are available to help. While delving deeply into the different forms trauma can take, the discussion is engaging and easy to understand, while still including footnoted citations for further reading for those who want to focus on a particular topic. 

Sprinkled throughout are the words of the first responders themselves- the firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs- that give testimony to the validity of the wear and tear and resulting damage their life of service can cause, the impacts of which may be mitigated by the same type of pre-planning and preparation for such if addressed prior to their taking up of their turnout or latex gloves. Clear, comprehensive communication with family members and supportive friends before, during, and after hard shifts appears to be key to handling potential trauma. The book also recognizes and discusses generational differences in the workplace that can lead to tension or to responders not seeking help when they need it. A generational aspect I found particularly interesting was how many first responders' children followed in their parents' footsteps when choosing their own career. 

I recommend BURNED OUT to first responders and their family members, especially those just entering their chosen career field.

Author Bio:

Karin J. Lund, Founder of G-Power Global Enterprises, works with corporations, universities, and non-profit groups, that want to embrace a compassionate, culture empowered, workplace environment. A culture that employees, and management, actively support, because the culture acknowledges personal and professional values, understands the importance of an inclusive work environment, and includes a corporate dedication to improving the local, and/or global community.
Karin was only the 3rd woman to be hired in Central Operation Sales for J & L Steel, in Pittsburgh, Pa. She later accepted a position with a Canadian steel company who was expanding operations into the United States. As a regional sales manager with an international territory, Karin managed a $140M sales territory, and saw firsthand how various steel mills, and manufacturer’s work culture and environments, impacted morale, productivity, and profits.
As an author, speaker, and facilitator, Karin was a civilian responder directly after 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Working with the children and families from Bay St. Louis, MS after Katrina showed her the expansiveness of loss, life events, and the resilience of this special community. Karin is an adult facilitator for Caring Place, where families can receive help after the loss of a spouse, parent, child, or extended family member.
Through these experiences she has witnessed how life events impact employees, and what employees need from management to help them adjust and move through these life events. Productivity and morale need not suffer if embraced appropriately.
Her online program, “Your Journey through the Islands of Grief and Loss,” encourages individuals and employees to confront issues related to their personal journeys around different aspects of life events and loss. Corporate comfort gifts, journals, and other products support this effort.

Book Review - Why We Fall: Why Pain and Suffering Are Our Greatest Teachers by Daniel Martinez

Why We Fall: Why Pain and Suffering Are Our Greatest Teachers by Daniel Martinez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heartfelt and authentic.

Why We Fall: Why Pain and Suffering Are Our Greatest Teachers by Daniel Martinez is categorized as a self-help book, but it is really more than that. It is a well-written memoir in which the author reveals his personal journey as an example of pitfalls to avoid and practices that worked for him to come out on the positive side of life. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, his story is compelling and well worth the time.

A big reason I found Why We Fall to be so captivating was his easy-to-read writing style and engaging narrative voice. His delivery is personable and authentic, and I felt I was part of a private conversation with him.

Daniel Martinez is a remarkably self-aware young man and begins his story with his early childhood. He sounds like he was such an active and precocious boy; I couldn’t help smiling (or gasping!) over some of the things he did (and lived through!) He has his share of growing pains as he ages like everyone does, but he accompanies his story with some pretty amazing introspection, some of which occurred at pretty young ages. His descriptions of his awareness and moments of clarity are relatable, and he segues into the changes he underwent as a result. He fell, evaluated, improved, tried again, made progress, fell again, and continued to carry on. Often, he had the help of adults, such as his father and, later, professional guidance, to gain perspective, but the author was ultimately responsible for the heavy lifting. Spirituality played a critical role in his life, and the author devotes a specific chapter to this very aspect later in the book.

I recommend WHY WE FALL to readers of self-help books and memoirs.

READ AN EXCERPT:

So why love? Because love is the master builder that architects all things good both for you and our human community. Love encourages you to shine your light as bright as you can make it glow. You are never too much or not enough, you are just right. Love generates happiness. You have the ability to love yourself so much that it feels like you are growing sunshine in your heart and a prolific garden of goodness in your life. Love transforms the opposite of love (not-love) into healthy and empowered relationships. It creates prosperity and harmony. It sets healthy boundaries with unhealthy people. Love says that you matter, that you are important as a person, and that you are safe. Within all of your relationships, love unifies and brings people together. Love is the most powerful energy source on the planet. Love always triumphs over not-love because love, in her purest of forms, supports and nurtures life.

Please welcome Paige Farrington, the author of today's featured book, to the blog to talk to us about the different ways we present ourselves to others.

Welcome, Paige!

A Day in the Life: Unmasking the Characters We All Play

by Paige Farrington

If you pause and think about it, most of us spend our days slipping in and out of different “characters.” The people around us often shape which characters we unconsciously embody. The most empowering cast of supporting characters allows us to shine, and the most challenging keep us stuck in unhealthy habits. Here are five character patterns that might sound familiar:

1.      The Overachiever Student

Maybe you heard a comment early in life that made you believe what you created was not good enough. Ever since, you have pushed yourself to prove otherwise.

2.      The People Pleaser

You smile, say yes, and make sure everyone else is happy, secretly hoping it will guarantee their love or approval. But deep down, you know authenticity feels better than self-sacrifice.

3.      The Perfectionist

You try to do everything flawlessly, believing that mistakes make you unworthy of love or success. The more you polish, the more exhausted you become, forgetting that your true value has never depended on perfection.

4.      The Struggler

You move through life bracing for the next challenge, convinced that nothing can ever come easy. Hardship becomes familiar, and joy feels fleeting.

5.      The Competitor

You see life as a race. Every achievement only matters if it proves you are ahead of someone else. Winning becomes the measure of worth, even when what your heart really wants is connection.

But here is the twist: these characters did not appear out of nowhere. Much of who we think we are was scripted by our supporting cast–parents, teachers, friends, religious leaders, and partners. Their words and actions often became the scripts we unknowingly followed.

Unmasking your own characters means also unmasking theirs. When you begin to understand the fears and self-beliefs that shaped them, you gain insight into how you came to play your own character. That realization is powerful. It builds self-awareness, loosens old patterns, fosters compassion, and creates space for a new story, one where you choose love instead of not-love.

Underneath every mask lies your truest self. Recognizing the characters you play empowers you to let go of roles that don’t serve you and embrace the most authentic and empowered version of yourself.

These five are only a glimpse. There are countless other characters we take on, often without realizing it. If you do not see yourself in these, keep looking, because every mask you take off brings you closer to living the happiest and truest version of yourself.

READ AN EXCERPT:

Civil defence continued to be the focus of all levels of government in BC during the 1960s. The cold war standoff between the Soviet Union and the United States and its allies continued to escalate as nuclear capabilities grew. Air raid siren tests were common along with drills in schools in BC. Citizens in Comox were treated to the sights and sounds of Voodoo fighter jets launching to intercept Russian long-distance bombers. The RCAF remained the lead for air and marine search and rescue, from their base on Sea Island. Searches for missing aircraft and vessels in distress were numerous, as technology such as tracking and alerting systems were yet to be developed or in their infancy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Jim McAllister has been involved in search and rescue for over 45 years, starting as a volunteer member in the Rocky Mountains in 1977 with Golden and District SAR and then Cranbrook SAR. He became the SAR specialist for the Province of B.C. in 2002. In 2008, Jim retired from the provincial government as a director with Emergency Management British Columbia and became a volunteer director for special projects with the British Columbia Search and Rescue Association. Jim has been involved with many major projects: the establishment of Avalanche Canada, the updating of volunteer reimbursement rates, the establishment of health and safety guidelines, the formation of a joint health and safety committee, Swiftwater Rescue standards, sustainable funding for search and rescue and the establishment of the British Columbia Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial. Jim wrote a book on the last project, titled A Monument to Remember, and one on incidents, titled One Week in August: Stories from Search and Rescue in British Columbia.

Read an Excerpt:

Science is just starting to understand the resident wisdom contained within the human body with all its complex mechanisms for preserving health. Let me give you an example.

Through an internal strategy for repairing and replacing cells, called senescence, directed by tiny signalling proteins called sirtuins (we will discuss this in depth a little further into the book), we are naturally and automatically capable of monitoring and regulating many metabolic functions related to ageing and repair—including genome stability, inflammatory response, apoptosis (normal cell death), DNA repair and mitochondrial functions. I am sure that some of you may be saying, “So what? Big words and complex processes, but what’s the point?” What I am driving at is simple. The body is creation’s most magnificent health factory. We were all born with these and many other spectacular health enhancing processes, and they happen without thought or conscious direction every minute of every day you are alive. Really, it just does not get any more amazing!

As for blaming illness on age, although some critical biological functions may not perform quite as effectively at eighty-five as they did at thirty-five, as we go forward into the book, you will witness how these processes most certainly can be stimulated to work more efficiently at any point in our lives.

Review:

5 stars!

Common sense explanations, inspirational discussions, and a doable program for the Boomer generation.

The Un-Diet Diet is the new guide aimed at the over-55 audience who want to improve their lifestyle and reclaim their health to feel better and age more gently. A practicing physician for over 40 years, Dr. Pooley takes the time and effort to explain the hows and whys the current generation of seniors are experiencing many preventable conditions and lays out straightforward methods that can alleviate or avoid some common health struggles. The messages contained herein are understandable, doable, and inspiring. 

Dr. Pooley takes a whole-person, whole-life, all-systems approach to strengthening and maintaining health, explaining how each of the five interconnected areas must be addressed for our bodies to work optimally and age well. The book's title rings true; this is not a diet book, although reasoned food management is one of the five parts. 

The author structures his program on five interconnected principles: "The Five Pillars to Health." Pooley explains what each pillar constitutes and how they must be considered to attain a healthy state. His writing style is engaging and easy to read and follow, even when discussing complex ideas. His tone was much like that of a good friend who really likes you. Case studies of real-life situations with past patients are included throughout the book and clearly illustrate the principles under discussion and their application or how health problems had manifested. 

Considering the nature of this material and the target audience's age, the author stresses that before jumping feet first into this or any similar program, readers should consult their own healthcare provider for their informed go-ahead. However, everything mentioned made absolute sense, and there were no outrageous demands inherent in the program. 

I recommend THE UN-DIET DIET to readers of this age group considering making health improvements and wanting to emphasize common sense lifestyle choices.

About the Author:

Dr. Pooley has been in practice over 43 years, and during that time worked with over 20,000 individuals in close to 500,000 clinical encounters. He is married to his soulmate Patti Mugford-Pooley and lives in Lighthouse Cove in Canada. He has served his profession and community in various roles, and lectured nationally and internationally on professionalism as well as the importance of natural approaches to health and wellness. Doug is a former bodybuilding champion and continues to explore new frontiers in health and successful aging.

He is currently in his early seventies going on seventeen.

The result will be a formed character, created by daily volitional actions.

What's inside?

– Weekly and daily planning sheets

– Space for summarizing weekly results and for reflection

– Wise thoughts and tips along the way

Any goal reduced to daily tasks will be achieved, no matter what.

FOR WHOM IS THIS JOURNAL?

For those who want to succeed in business, improve themselves, move forward, maintain their motivation and eliminate distractions.

Many of us have meaningful ideas that could change the world. Without embodiment, they will remain just a dream. A dream about the future.

READ AN EXCERPT:

In 1910, in the center of Paris at Sorbonne, the president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, gave a speech.

One of the passages of the speech became known as “The Man in the Arena”:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Do you ever find yourself asking: “Who am I? The one in the arena, or a spectator?”

REVIEW:

5 stars!

Simple yet stimulating process to achieve life and work goals.

Misha Saidov is an experienced life and performance coach, author, and founder of the Institute of Metacognitive Programming and the coaching company, Think Meta. His latest project is The Efficiency Journal, a self-contained time management tool that is applicable to anyone’s successful use in the form of a do-it-yourself self-examination journal.

The program follows these simple and successful five points developed over a century ago and attributed to productivity consultant Ivy Lee.

1.       At the end of each working day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow.

2.      Prioritize those six items according to their true importance.

3.       Tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task.

4.       Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion.

5.       Repeat this process every working day.

The journal is organized into 12-week periods and stimulates users to begin by identifying one’s goals and breaking down the individual tasks that need to be accomplished to achieve these goals, clearly requires examination of one’s aspirations, developing a plan of attack, reflection on progress and results, and re-evaluation of processes and tasks. It requires paying attention to where you want to go, determining how to get there, removing obstacles and eliminating activities that don’t further or support achieving those goals, acknowledging successes, and rewarding oneself for positive progress.

I recommend THE EFFICIENCY JOURNAL to anyone looking to energize their work life or life in general and achieve their dreams.
