Book of The Month: The Coffee Bean

The Bean will be featuring a Book of The Month (BoTM) as we continue to deepen our passion for education and empowerment. We want to inspire, spark curiosity, and encourage honesty through personal growth within our team and patients. 

Our first BoTM is The Coffee Bean by Jon Gordon and Damon West. 

How it applies to our patients: Many nephrology patients face a number of changes that can affect the way they live their lives. This can include medication changes, lifestyle changes, or need for continuous treatment, like dialysis. This can create an immense amount of stress for the patients that can affect their mental and physical health. The Coffee Bean can give our patients the perspective that they, too, are a coffee bean that has the power within them to transform their environment and conditions. A positive mindset can make all the difference in the patient’s care.
How it has helped our office: This book has helped our office cultivate an environment that encourages our patients and staff to not let our circumstances change who they are. We want to create a place for learning, honesty, and respect, empowering everyone who walks through the door to encourage and facilitate positive change.
Our favorite quotes:

• “No matter how hard things get, or how hopeless things look, don’t give up. Realize that we don’t create our world from the outside in. We transform it from the inside out.”

• “Life is often like a pot of very hot water. It can be a harsh, stressful, and difficult place. You will find yourself in environments and facing conditions that test who you truly are, and can change, weaken, or harden you if you let them.”
