Burnout kommt nicht nur von Stress

The burnout bestseller in its revised and updated new edition. Over the years, this book has become a standard work on the topic of burnout. The present new edition has been completely revised and brought up to date with the latest research. Dr. Mirriam Priess's innovative approach is based on a holistic understanding of the phenomenon of burnout. For the author, burnout is much more than just an expression of overwhelm. It is a call to live a life that is true to one's essence and authentic. It is a wake-up call to stop seeking guidelines for our health solely from external sources and to ask ourselves what we truly need. Only when we recognize that there can be no healthy life in a false one and discover what the right life means for us personally do we have a real chance at long-term health. Burnout is not a sign of weakness. It is a healthy self-regulation attempt by a person living a life that does not align with their identity. Based on years of treatment experience with burnout patients, the doctor and psychotherapist explains previously unexplored connections of this widespread illness, highlighting why the incidence rate continues to rise, why many affected individuals do not recover, and why so many treatments fail. However, this does not have to be the case. When certain mechanisms are understood and a change in mindset occurs among both the environment and those affected, everyone can remain or become healthy and capable.
