Produktbeschreibung

"In this profound, humane, and timely book, Jonathan Malesic diagnoses our burned-out condition with more clarity than anyone before him. But just as importantly, he shows us a path through and out of the crisis—toward a thrilling yet achievable vision of life with our jobs no longer at the center."—Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals "The End of Burnout is compassionate and wry, addictive and propulsive. It doesn't just identify the causes of burnout; it offers us compelling examples of what the alternative offers and what it can look like. It's one thing to identify burnout in your own life. It's another to actively seek out the ways to embrace a posture that counters it. This book, one of very few that offer you a graspable glimpse of a different way of a life, feels like a revelation."—Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation "Jonathan Malesic has written a moving account of an under-acknowledged cultural and spiritual malady. He weaves psychology, theology, philosophy, and real-world experience into a convincing argument that we must attend to the prevalence of burnout if—for no other reason—it undermines our ability to seek the good life."—Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of The Googlization of Everything (And Why We Should Worry) "This book could not be more topical. It carefully unravels an assumption that is deeply embedded in our culture and psyches, namely, that our purpose and meaning in life is to work, and that we should give it our all, and more. With great lucidity and elegance and a hefty dose of compassion, Malesic sets out to dismantle this grand injurious narrative. I love this book."—Anna Katharina Schaffner, author of Exhaustion: A History "The author has a smooth and appealing style of writing, successfully raising awareness about burnout as a cultural rather than an individual phenomenon."—Wilmar Schaufeli, Professor of Psychology, Utrecht University and KU Leuven
