Beyond Burnout: How Teachers, Nurses, Therapists and Lawyers Recover from Stress and Disillusionment Book

My goal in reading this book was to find ways to organize my life in both personal and work dimensions, but the real emphasis was on the personal dimension. To that end, the first half of this book was immensely helpful to me, and will be just as helpful to those who take the time to complete the activities and to honestly answer the questions that Caunt asks us to ask ourselves.

Having said that, the second half is where the book fell apart for me, mainly because the scenarios and advice it presented were more heavily (and understandably) geared towards workplace situations as opposed to general life situations. Also, the technological advice was meant to speak to both complete computer novices as well as people well-versed in computers, but it ended up being too basic and simplistic for me as someone who works on the computer all of the time.

Overall, those who are looking for solutions to workplace disorganization will probably find the book more helpful in its entirety. Those who are looking for personal solutions would be better off sticking to Chapters 1 through 4.
