Are you feeling exhausted, hollow, cynical, angry or just not there? Are you working harder but getting less done? Are you ill too often or for too long? Or do you know someone else who feels like this?
These are some of the classic warning signs of burnout. More importantly, they hold out the promise of a whole new life. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Dina Glouberman, visionary founder of the Skyros holistic health holidays, demonstrates that burnout happens at work or at home when the meaning goes out of what we are doing but we have too much invested to stop and take notice. If we soldier on, we risk losing everything--including our health, our happiness, even our lives. But if we listen to the message and take action, the symptoms of burnout can become our guideposts to a new and more satisfying way of living.
This practical and challenging book, using case studies, exercises and clear explanations, shows you whether you have burnt out and how and why you got there, and guides you step by step from burnout to joy.
