Why you should read Reclaiming the Fire
Dr. Steven Berglas, a clinical psychologist, has written a truly engaging book examining the reasons why very successful people are susceptible to burnout. Berglas combines psychological theory, social trend analysis and case stories from his practice to illustrate the causes and symptoms of burnout, and to evaluate some potential remedies. He writes in a fresh, clear style that almost belies the depth of his research. The doctor pays special attention to the problems of baby boomers, who are – he says – especially prone to burnout because they tend toward self-centeredness. getAbstract recommends this refreshing, practical book to baby boomers and burned-out professionals.
