About this listen
Jean Watson's first edition of Nursing, now considered a classic, introduced the science of human caring and quickly became one of the most widely used and respected sources of conceptual models for nursing. This completely new edition offers a contemporary update and the most current perspectives on the evolution of the original philosophy and science of caring from the field's founding scholar. A core concept for nurses and the professional and non-professional people they interact with, "care" is one of the field's least understood terms, enshrouded in conflicting expectations and meanings. Although its usages vary among cultures, caring is universal and timeless at the human level, transcending societies, religions, belief systems, and geographic boundaries, moving from Self to Other to community and beyond, affecting all of life.
This new edition reflects on the universal effects of caring and connects caring with love as the primordial moral basis both for the philosophy and science of caring practices and for healing itself. The book is published by University Press of Colorado.

Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around.

Story
Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories. But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories—relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang?

Keep reading. pseudoscience ahead!
Watson makes a number of pseudoscientific claims and even borders on anti-scientific claims at times. however some of the views that she expresses are useful to consider. I would say listen to this book with Extreme Caution. I do not believe that this is the end-all and be-all of nursing Theory however I recognize that a lot of the views that Watson Expresses in this book have become commonplace in the field which isn't entirely a good thing. my main gripe with Watson is that if her claims are true then they can be tested and verified independently. this is called science. Perhaps it is true that you cannot get an ought from an is but if what she saying is real than it should be real enough to test and verify which complies with the scientific method this should not come as a surprise this should not be a controversial statement though I'm afraid more and more it is because people are more and more adopting a anti-scientific or pseudo scientific worldview. think post-modernism.

The Old Ought Not Be Disguarded
Jean Watson has hit on the very essence of what it means to 'nurse' a patient back to his best state of health as well as Nightrngales' precepts continue to deliver for both nurse and patient. This book should be a must read for anyone who is thinking of becoming a true nurse; not just a technical clinician.
Watson explains in simple terms the Caritas Nursing Model. Though one might find what she lays down as 'old school' I resoundingly applaud her for restating all that is nursing are practiced in the 'little human conveyances with technology as tool for better results not essential for it in all cases. It is the art, science and indeed spirit of the profession that Jean Watson so eloquently and professional tells us. Thank you

Do not read unless you have to!
I'm sorry for the people that have to read this book. BSN and above.
Watson picks up where Hegel left off. (objectivism vs subjectivism)
This was a painful slog to listen to: 'healthogenic', 'human needs are holographic', 'life-circumstances', 'knowledge-systems' etc
At some point after ch 18 i couldn't keep listening because it completely devolves into new age meditation type shit.
Mind you this is the revised version, 30 years after the original, this is what the author considered was missing from the original work. An editor read this... and republished it.
Please do not be impressed by the arcane verbiage or references.
Ontological = theories of being, view of caring as entelechy; better put 'an idea in of itself' Schopenhauer
It doesn't acquire any divine attribute unless you give it one.
An entelechy, could just as well be a meme (Dawkins)
She alludes to the concept of interconnectivity in Hindu. How we are all part of a whole.
Schopenhauer already dismissed this, with his 'principia individuationes'. In hindsight, Watson is either knowingly conflating or unknowingly confused; if she can't distinguish a part ,apart from the whole.
As a personal injury, she does my man Nietzche dirty (quotes him once); because he would totally dismiss her as a hegelian fangirl.
Only thing of value, because it is already broadly utilized, is 'caritas' principles, which is the first 16 ish chapters. But it is written in such a tortured lexicon, you are better off asking Chat gpt.
