Dr. Jane Sofair has chosen a unique career path. Trained as a psychiatrist, she went from being part of a large practice to a solo practice, then back to a group practice. She is challenged and frustrated by the dark side of medical practice, dealing with insurance, fee schedules, allowable yearly visits and the resulting burnout. Her solution is unusual - she becomes a beauty consultant. She combines her daytime psychiatry practice with an evening beauty sales position. Dr. Sofair quickly learns that her career in psychiatry helps her with product sales. She is passionate about product quality and ingredients and understands how women use cosmetics to improve self esteem. Through her own experiences, she advises readers to “to allow yourself to think outside the box, and to carry passion with you…” Those are words we can all appreciate. 5 stars.
