Book Description
The definitive work on avoiding burnout, written by the psychologist who is the leading specialist on the issue. An illuminating and useful book for anyone coping with the pressures of work. In Reclaiming the Fire, Dr. Steven Berglas analyzes the rises and falls of corporate executives, middle managers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and others as they struggle to handle the trappings of successful careers. How does one deal with encore anxiety, the monotony of having to use talents that are no longer psychologically rewarding? Why is it that our national obsession with wealth traps people in careers that often lead them to wonder, "Is that all there is?" And why do highly successful people often set themselves up for disastrous falls? Dr. Berglas answers all these questions and many more in this groundbreaking book by discussing real people whose careers have left them feeling pressured, burdened, and jaded. In his most progressive and striking contribution to the literature on career success, Dr. Berglas debunks the persistent myth that women suffer more stress and burnout than men. He disproves the common claim that women involved both in careers and in family life suffer from trying to have it all, and he demonstrates how the drive to form close interpersonal ties a drive that is intrinsic to women can actually prevent both men and women from experiencing burnout. In a related analysis of the mentoring process, Dr. Berglas shows why it is more important for careerists to build legacies for future generations (a process he terms generativity) than to become obsessed with their own personal success. He proves that the process not only benefits the student but provides the mentor with psychological satisfaction and even improved physical health. Reclaiming the Fire uses the working world not the psychiatric couch as a venue for understanding the psychological and emotional burdens of success. It is the first comprehensive account of how to balance self-esteem and ambition while maintaining challenge and stimulation throughout your career. Reclaiming the Fire provides insight into: *Why baby boomers are currently suffering an epidemic of career dissatisfaction *Why women are uniquely suited to cope with the pressures that cause men to suffer burnout, and what men can learn from them *How to escape golden handcuffs: the workaholic devotion to a job that is no longer emotionally satisfying *How to cope with anger that threatens to sabotage your career *How all professionals can identify the passions that will allow them to sustain and enjoy success throughout their lives

Book Description
Do you feel overwhelmed? Is your 'to do' list growing at the rate of knots? Do you feel your health is suffering from so many responsibilities combined with the lack of time to complete them? Are you finding that you are missing time with your family in order to keep up? If so, you are not alone - stress is one of the most pervasive conditions in our modern 24/7 world and responsible for a range of health conditions, from depression to heart conditions. Fortunately, we all have the power to control our own lives and our health and there are a range of things we can do to improve our stress levels and ultimately our health. This well-researched book will help you understand what is causing your stressful feelings and give you practical steps on how to make yourself more resilient and beat stress once and for all. Written by Lawrence Mitchell, qualified life & health coach, leader of a 100+ marketing team, long-distance runner, healthy eater and author of 'Sugar: Sickly or Sweet' (a book outlining the dangers of sugar and practical ways to cut down) and 'A Better Life (a book about setting and achieving your life's goals), he is passionate about helping people optimise their lives. This book outlines a range of best-practice techniques used by the most successful people on the planet, distilled into his own methodology that has been tried and tested by himself and countless others. Reading this book will enable you to take back control of your life and design your life around the way you want to feel and behave. "Unlike other 'self-help' or psychology and wellbeing books I read, this one has a simple and clear message delivered without forcing the reader through pages and pages of academic thinking, supporting research and evidence. You read it because it takes you by the hand and leads you through the changes that you need to make and why. The essence of reams and reams of research is distilled and summarised for you in clear, easy to manage and memorable chunks. All you have to do is follow the advice. By the end of your read the new you will feel more in charge and (warning!) you may even find yourself quoting excerpts of the book back at the world."C Burn, London UK"As a seasoned entrepreneur, I've *had* to learn how to manage the stress of striving to be a good husband, father and CEO. It hasn't always been easy, and over the years I've developed a variety of patterns for managing stress. I wish, though, I had Lawrence's book when I started. He gives practical advice on a variety of topics. And while I think I enjoy cookies and ice cream a bit more than Lawrence would recommend, I'm thankful that his advice focuses on being helpful, not preachy."Luke Hohmann, Founder & CEO and of The Innovation Games Company

Book Description
Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
