Bowie, MD – May 23, 2026 – Internationally recognized speaker, certified domestic violence advocate, and author Dr. Mildred D. Muhammad has announced the release of her new book, Maintain Happiness: Beyond Burnout: Strategies for Personal Growth and Resilience. Signed copies are now available through her official website, MildredMuhammad.com.
Written for professionals, caregivers, advocates, service providers, and individuals dedicated to helping others, Maintain Happiness: Beyond Burnout offers practical tools for identifying burnout, rebuilding emotional resilience, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating a life grounded in peace, purpose, and personal well-being.
Drawing from her personal experiences and years of advocacy, Dr. Muhammad delivers an honest and compassionate perspective on the emotional toll of constant service. As a survivor of emotional and psychological abuse, and the woman later identified as the intended target of the 2002 D.C. Sniper attacks, she understands the long-term impact of trauma and the importance of intentional healing.
Through her work with survivors, organizations, military communities, faith-based groups, and victim service providers, Dr. Muhammad has spent years helping individuals reclaim their voices and rebuild their lives. In her new book, she shifts the focus toward those who spend their lives caring for others, emphasizing that sustainable service begins with self-preservation.
“After years of supporting victims and survivors, I learned that purpose does not remove exhaustion,” said Dr. Muhammad. “I had to develop practices that allowed me to continue serving without losing myself in the process. This book gives readers permission to care for themselves with the same compassion they extend to others.”
The book explores the hidden signs of emotional and psychological burnout, the stressors that quietly drain energy over time, and the self-defeating patterns that can erode confidence and self-worth. Readers are guided through actionable strategies for building a personalized self-care plan, creating healthy boundaries without guilt, strengthening support systems, and developing a growth mindset that transforms setbacks into opportunities for personal growth.
More than a recovery guide, Maintain Happiness: Beyond Burnout speaks to anyone navigating high-pressure careers, overwhelming responsibilities, or emotional fatigue from consistently putting others first.
“This is not a book about simply surviving,” Dr. Muhammad added. “It is about thriving with intention, clarity, and purpose. People can continue serving others while still protecting their own peace.”
With this latest release, Dr. Muhammad continues her mission of empowering individuals and communities with practical tools for healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness. The book also highlights an important message for professionals in helping roles: burnout prevention is not optional, it is essential for sustainable impact and healthy living.
Maintain Happiness: Beyond Burnout: Strategies for Personal Growth and Resilience is available now. Autographed copies may be purchased through MildredMuhammad.com
