Synopsis

From the back cover: "More than a decade of listening to people in the clutches of burnout stimulated Dr. Demaray to write Watch Out for Burnout. People in the helping professions - teachers, pastors, social workers, lawyers, missionaries, and homemakers- are especially susceptible to burnout. A first priority in dealing with burnout is to recognize the signals. What are they? '...diminution of enthusiasm, gray feelings, negativity, withdrawal, lowering of competence, absenteeism, sluggish thinking, and anger. As burnout deepens, disgust, paralysis, radical isolation, full-scale depression, and inability to plan and work may appear.' To help people regain joy and peace is the target of this book. Inspiration and practical measure abound as the pages provide handles on healing burnout in its various stages. Urgently needed help comes packaged in digestible units - single meditations designed to get at the causes and to find cures. Some topics covered are: humor, surrender, stress and distress, creativity, self-esteem, physical fitness, time and its management, family love and support, and the three dragons: fear, anger, and guilt."
