Lawyers wrote the book on stress. We work excruciatingly long hours – 24/7 availability is the standard. Each piece of advice has to be right, every time.

Some stress in the law is inevitable, even useful. But hating the grind, longing to be present for our families, the constant fear of being wrong — these states of mind are not. For too many lawyers, the frequent diet of hate, longing and fear — the endless war within — is lethal.
