Goodbye, BURNOUT!
How to work (and live) meaningfully and without stress
There is no doubt that the demands on the modern person have increased tremendously, and the attitude "to be the best" further deteriorates the quality of life. Rushing, tension and stress become a daily scourge. Inner resilience as well as sources of physical and mental recreation are needed to avoid falling into a state of exhaustion. But the opposite is also true: too monotonous and incomplete life makes us gloomy and sick.
From a logotherapeutic point of view burnout it occurs not when we work a lot, but when the meaning has been lost, when what we do has ceased to be of value to us.
Diagnostic kit – test…
So how do we manage to complete our assigned tasks satisfactorily without burning out?
This book by the most prominent and significant follower of the Frankl school, Elizabeth Lucas, provides a number of answers, supported by examples from her many years of practice. It shines a light on both the professional and personal spheres of the kind of commitment that "comes from the heart" and builds rather than tears down.
Because even the heaviest debt cannot bring unhappiness if we manage to weave it into the context of meaning.
There are people who work hard and constantly and never they burn out. Just as there are people who really act for the benefit of others and still retain the joy of their actions. There are people who, even at an advanced age, continue to do remarkably well and remain vibrant and healthy. Obviously, there is something in man that cannot be explained by external circumstances, but lies within him.
It is what largely determines whether a person is a potential "burnout candidate" or not. This "something" Elizabeth Lucas traces in the first part of this book. Because if they discover it for themselves, the readers will be able to use it as a guide for their actions, and then external circumstances - no matter how oppressive or difficult - will lose their power over them.
